Your truck looked so killer in my rear view mirror. I must say also, I was never fan of LED lights until I seen them on your truck. The look on peoples faces when you roll into a gas station are hilarious. We will meet again!
Thankyou very much Henry. Nice sun pic lol. My thought is take an old vehicle you built or rebuilt or take a new one they can both brake down, but you can fix the old one on the side of the road with a bubble gum wrapper and a zip tie. I hope to remember to post tomorrow we had a list of thumbs up from our trip.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Your truck deserves all those thumbs up, there is just something so right about that big red front end so close to the ground.

Do it!!

I bought 3 copy's tonight January 2017 issue. I am blown away with this. The picture in the mag is the first time the truck was ever on the road. At the time not knowing how well the truck I pieced together would even work, to the amount of fun it has been for me, my family and everyone that supported the build. What an amazing first year. Thankyou to everyone on this awesome form as well.
