Its all good I know its a ford but I will tell you right now that truck will pull the grapevine with 10000 pounds at 80 mph. Not that I would do that but it will. I love the truck.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Hey Eric. I think Tootsie is trying to tell you something. Last time you trailered her, she tried loosening up the straps. And this time she knocked your rear fender and tire off. Bet she's saying "nobody puts tootsie in the corner!!" She wants to be driven!! Not trailered.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I would be over in a second with my white gloves on. Kinda sucks that I am in the middle of nowhere and not many friends that do this stuff. Oh well. Just have to move to Cali!! If only I could talk the wife into it.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Cory, we understand if you have a Ford in the driveway. It's probably because it can get out of it. When a Ford does make it out of the driveway it tries to sabotage and destroy one of nicest C10's we've ever seen. Trust me, I know how they think. I saw Transformers.

I may disagree with that "run circles" comment since i own a Duramax Crewcab but the last point made is a very valid one. That is one of the reasons we bought our first Ford product this year when we were looking for a new mid sized SUV for my wife.

As I recall, the government no longer "owns" General Motors, having divested itself of all GM ownership by selling off the remaining GM stock they previously controlled. I believe this took place starting shortly after the first of this year. As f.monroe said, I too really like my crewcab Duramax! But, then again, I'm a lifelong GM guy!!

That being said. Youre my new favorite builder on here.

Truck looks amazing. Wish I could have gone to Brothers to check it out. Acutally, your only an hour or so from me!

Quick question though. Where did you get your dimple dies? Ive read through your thread a dozen times and havent seen any mention of it.
