Yes, the shipping company messed things up so I had to wait 6-8 weeks longer than I should have had.

Seems like a lot of you like the color and that is of course including me, I'm really happy with the choice of color.

There is quite a lot of American iron over here but not so many of these years’ trucks so it sure stands out. I haven't driven it very much yet but I noticed it draw some attention.

Hello Mats,

Sorry about not seeing this thread before.
Man that Truck looks awesome man! I can imagine you must be a happy man driving such a beautiful Truck around town.

Are you taking it to the Power Big Meet this year?
To bad we are not going this year

Let's hope next year we will be there again. Although we would also like to come to the Classic Car week.
Anyway, enjoy the truck my friend! We keep in touch!

CHEERS!
Cya,
Edmond

Thanks,

Yes, my plan is to take it to the Power Meet and Classic Car Week this year, and next year too.

Edmond · 06-19-2008, 01:32 PM

Well Let's hope we can come over next year.
With the rising gasoline prices these days one can hardly fill the tank up without braking the bank

But we'll do our best

Uff daaa....

Nice ride.

Sweden, huh?

So, how much is gasoline?......since we Yanks are griping about what we pay.....and here you are feeding it to a big block, 3/4-ton, LWB.

Your efforts have yielded a very nice truck. Congrats.

Gas in Sweden is right now about $9 per gallon and I think it is even worse in The Netherlands. I haven’t measured but I think my trucks mileage is about 7 miles to the gallon or 30 liters per 100 kilometers as we say it here.

Gorgeous truck

Very very nice restoration.

That thing has got to be pretty unique in your neck of the woods.
