Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Anything get done this weekend? I'm chompin' at the bit to rip the body off of my Blazer, but I keep telling myself to wait for cooler weather. Your truck is going to be amazing!
On another note, I see BigArmzz is selling his red truck in the classifieds... That's all you, dude |

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
I will have the bed on permanently hopefully pretty soon. Not going to do it just for the photo op though. Dennis is aparently much more energetic than me.

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Definately feels good to walk out into the garage and see it looking like a truck again. 7 months and counting since I got to drive it last. I'm getting impatient!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Grab some beer and call a few buddies over. That should have the bed on there in 3 minutes flat.
No bed on frame = no beer. The offer of more beer should get front clip bolted on fairly quick. After that, don't offer any more beer. Bad things might start happening, like taking things apart. Used correctly, beer CAN solve a lot of problems!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Now that you have the cab on the ball will start rolling again. The bed will be the next big thing, then after that you will be on cruise control!

Re: The 6.0 Silverado Build
Definately didnt do any rain dances. I would take a night at the ball park
(or a hockey game!) with my wife and son over working on the truck anyday! It's a shame soooo many people feel just the opposite. Trucks come and go, my family will not! Maybe tomorrow!
