Re: "the graduate"

I like your idea with shaving the cowl and removing the speaker grill so much, I'm going have to put that on my list of things to do. Nice job on the truck so far.

Re: "the graduate"

Nice Porterbuilt order you have there, you stated in your first post you were going with the Touring/Mild kits from porterbuilt. I'm assuming you went with the Touring front dropmember and the Mild rear dropmember, correct. If so I can't wait to see how this looks cause I plan on running the same on mine someday when I have the funds for it. I really like the metal work your doing and the attention to detail. Looks great.

Re: "the graduate"

Good luck on the sale,...
I would list it in the 67-72 Classified Section.
No one will find it there in the "Everything Else" Section.
