Are we far from an update?

bigblock73 · 01-25-2015, 09:56 PM

Kevin, why all the FB love, but none here? Truck is looking great!

83swb · 01-25-2015, 10:29 PM

I found his Instagram page unknowingly, he put an old cattlecatcher style grille guard on it. Still black and white.

Pretty sure no disrespect was/intended. Not everybody frequents or visits instagram. If TX didn't want he pics seen, he wouldn't post them on the net. I know what the truck looks like & only acknowledge the info TX opts to share & that's all I've seen these other guys do.

Thanks SCOTI, that sums it up the way I see it as well. I don't think it's any secret that much of the membership here uses FB and Instagram to post progress. It's referenced here often.

83swb · 01-27-2015, 10:59 PM

It's obviously just in good fun. I don't recall anything personal being brought up, it's just a man's truck project. His Instagram page is open to the public, it came up on my explore page as we both follow porterbuilt.

Super_Dave · 01-27-2015, 11:07 PM

Guess this thread is done, from what I can gather. Time to mosey on...

BigMike608 · 01-28-2015, 09:28 AM

Truth be told, it's a lot easier and faster to post pics with a few clicks on our smartphones to FB and Instagram. I have been guilty of it myself. Most of the time you can kill two birds with one stone by posting on Instagram and having it linked to your FB page and Twitter account.

mcbassin · 01-28-2015, 02:41 PM

I hope we will see some color pics here soon....

Tx Firefighter · 01-28-2015, 04:56 PM

Here is where the truck sits currently. Honestly I'm flat out of money. Still need tires installed, driveshaft built, exhaust built, and rear bumper built. But, I'm faced with braces x2 daughters right now plus some other unexpected expenses so truck money has fallen off the radar. I don't do credit, only cash.

I'm feeling you on the braces x2 - I went through that one a few years ago. Twins can be hell on the budget - all expenses are doubled. The one bright side I have found is that mine are currently sharing one car, so I didn't have to but and fuel two cars at once.

As usual, awesome build Kevin! Thanks for sharing.
