The truck is looking awesome and congrats on start up. Fun times coming soon.

**The Rocknrod** · 04-12-2021, 06:17 PM

Finally took for a short driveway drive just an initial check out after too many things to list getting it ready to drive.

roll_the_dice · 04-12-2021, 06:20 PM

Congratulations! Felt good didn't it?!

**The Rocknrod** · 04-12-2021, 06:40 PM

Sure did. Wife said it sounds great (no mufflers yet).

SCOTI · 04-12-2021, 06:41 PM

Victory!

Even the small ones count

**Joe Pass** · 04-12-2021, 08:40 PM

This is Great.....well done....

**cwcarpenter98** · 04-12-2021, 10:16 PM

Ohhhhhh snap, look at that shine

**pdxhall** · 04-13-2021, 11:48 AM

It sure looks nice out in the daylight. I know what you mean about so many little things to finish up at this stage.

aggie91 · 04-14-2021, 01:27 PM

Truck is looking good Master Chief!

My son is up at the RTC for training to be a MR. Lots of holds and waiting because of COVID, he is so ready for his first assignment.

**The Rocknrod** · 04-14-2021, 01:45 PM

MR is cool, he won't be cleaning sewer pipes. Thanks for the thumbs up.

SCOTI · 04-14-2021, 02:29 PM

Any obvious 'Uh-Oh' from the 1st driveway testing?

Ohhhhh ya.
Needs mufflers bad.

SCOTI · 04-14-2021, 06:27 PM

Well.... That was probably a given.

88Stanger · 04-14-2021, 06:41 PM

That is so awesome!!!

**The Rocknrod** · 04-21-2021, 05:06 AM

Went to Graves Custom Exhaust here in the Waco area yesterday and got it done. 2.25" pipes, resonators and Walker SoundFX mufflers. Could have done without the resonators maybe, pretty quiet. On a positive note the radio now sounds great.

**clemdaddy** · 04-21-2021, 07:59 AM

Man, you're doing it right... great job. I'm sorry I didn't check out your build sooner but we're on board now and really appreciate seeing it come together.

Thanks, I really like your work.

**The Rocknrod** · 04-23-2021, 05:44 PM

Took my seat frame material, foam etc down to Ed's Upholstery here in Waco.
Fabed up some front license brackets and had them powder-coated right here in China Spring. Pic makes em look straight, they're not. They're leaned back.

roll_the_dice · 04-23-2021, 06:08 PM

Coming right along! Brackets looks good!

**The Rocknrod** · 04-26-2021, 10:39 AM

I went to the county tax office and got the truck registered, year of make license plates done. $65 bucks for 5 years works for me.

I guessing you went with the "antique auto" for the registration? I am trying to decide on how I want to register mine...

**Joe Pass** · 04-26-2021, 11:35 AM

Ugggg I'm not so lucky here in Cal.....$198 a year for mine for a commercial tag since its a truck....no emissions test thank god since I'm a diesel vin and below 1995....thank god

**The Rocknrod** · 05-05-2021, 04:41 PM

Got the windshield installed at Freddy's Glass in Waco. I guess the third windshield was a charm.

Rear glass done also.

**pdxhall** · 05-08-2021, 01:04 PM

The glass looks great. Did I miss something on "the 3rd time's a charm" comment. I'm very close to having my front and rear glass installed and you've got me scared.
