Saw your truck in the stock wheel thread and I'm all about it! Really into your build and I'll be going thru it completely this evening. Planning on running Aero D-Hole wheels on mine and your stance is pretty much exactly what I'm going for. Nice work!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I have been really busy at work, and have been doing lots of traveling in the evenings helping my Preacher get to revival meetings. Yesterday at work, I was riding in one of the company pickups and the guy who was driving drifted into oncoming traffic and sideswiped another vehicle. There was no major damage other than the big mirror (which exploded through the open window and showered us with glass. About 20 minutes later my neck began to tighten up and hurt pretty bad. I told my supervisor I was going home because my neck hurt, and he seemed a little pissy about it. My wife made me go to the doctor, and sure enough, I have whiplash (lol, I thought that was fake). I am at home resting (dr's orders), but I really have been missing everyone.

Hope you get to feeling better big guy! Ive been there and its sucks!!! Hopefully we can see you next meet!

[5150]

Glad you're okay Matt. By the way, can I get a pic of you in that Michelin Tire thing that goes around people's necks?

[chevybuilder18]

hope you get better man.

Well, fellas, my life gets more like a country song every day! I lost my job this morning. I guess the new supervisor decided we weren't gonna get along after all. Most of the reasons he cited to the big boss for firing me were total lies! I was gonna quit as soon as something better came along, but I was kinda taking it slow. It's no big loss, but I've never been fired before, so it was still a shock. Anybody need a bagged stepside that hauls you-know-what? Just kiddin'. Truck is staying. Last three things to go will be truck, Jake (my dog), wife. In that order. Shoot, I'm lookin forward to workin on my truck some, and no more being on call!

Sorry to hear about that. I was laid off twice within three years due to company closing/a branch of the next company closing. Worked whatever jobs I could find (including parts sales) for almost two full years until I was blessed with my current job...so I feel your pain!

Haha, work's a funny thing, ain't it? Had a job I really disliked, was going to quit soon, and then wanna get halfway upset when I lose it, lol. Chalk another one up to small town (and small minded) politics. I am glad in a way though. I have learned that I need to find something I like, and not just the first thing that's offered.

Hey bud! Just make sure you get paid workers compensation and such. You got hurt on the job and they are responsible for your medical care

My neck was a little sore before, but it got much worse after. I went to the doctor more to prove that something was wrong, because I knew my supervisor had it out for me. I never call in sick or leave early, unless it's pretty much unbearable. I wasn't after workers comp, but the way they handled this makes me want to go after them. I thank God I was able to get out of there Monday without losing my cool. I feel like a weight has been lifted! I am gonna really try to find something I like!

[thelonerife]

You'll be better off in the long run Matt. Good things are around the corner for you. I can feel it. Its better to get away from that good ole boy system anyway.

You know if you need anything I got ya covered.
