Re: How about some pics of 47-59

How cool these trucks look under construction, so easy to think we need to get them just so perfect but proves cool is still on the way to perfection.

Good eye Jeff. That was everyone who ever did anything to help me build that truck. A lot of the work was done over a long week end when a bunch of my MetalMeet buddies came in for a truck build. They metal finished the fenders and cab from no rust parts. That was an awesome good time. When we sold the truck I did keep the tailgate!

Doug when you mentioned MetalMeet I remember the build. I've had some great times at meets out here in the west, but a trip to Oblong is on my bucket list.

Doug, I hope you can make it! I've met so many good folks through the events and even managed to learn some too. All my good friends and I had a great time on that build.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Yellow lights work the best in the fog, can run a single hi/low beam and a fog for 4 lights, great idea really..
