Sweet looking truck. It's nice to see all that work come to fruition, isn't it? I can't WAIT to get mine painted. The original paint is getting a bit
 worn, but I have MUCHO mecahnical work to do before I get to that stage. Plus driving it every day makes the process that much slower. Here in a month or few, I'll be retiring it for a couple of weeks to go through the engine and tranny. It's time to give my tired old 454 a power boost.
