That's the beauty of these trucks. They look good almost every way...stock survivor, stock restored, patina, custom, pro-street, lifted, bagged, etc....

I plan to do my current truck's engine bay in a stock feel with some modern upgrades.....but when I have the money to build my dream truck there will be some bling under the hood

up until a couple months ago I had two extra cabs and two extra beds and two extra frames....had more than enough to build three trucks at that point....now I need a bed and cab...I have everything else (many multiples of most parts

I still have nothing compared to a lot of the guys on here though (which is a scary thought )

Just like to take a moment to thank this member .Often we talk about the negatives instead of the positives so I'd would like to say thanks in front of all members to Ironhorse .When I say the money is on the way it's on the way and when a seller says it's on the way it SHOULD be on the way.To many people take your money and take there time in getting you the item you paid for.For all of you who do what they say THAT'S VERY KOOL....
