glock35ipsc · 07-18-2010, 11:42 AM

That looks freaking bad a$$!

Now, about the stroller...... Fighting. Urge. To. Comment. In. Public. Forum.

Going swimming, I'm sure I'll have something by the time we get home.

STOCKISH · 07-18-2010, 12:18 PM

Thats sick man. I like how you put the bed on just for the photo op. Lookng really good. Now if I could just get my cab on too. Ooh yeah, I did! Glad we are both making good progress. We'll have to start planning that middle of the U.S. meet we've been talikng about to show these off! Congrats on the progress. Keep it up.

That would be so awesome to have a major meet here in the middle somewhere. To see some of these sweet trucks from each coast in person!!!

STOCKISH · 07-18-2010, 04:07 PM

Sweet, shoot, my truck doesn't look anywhere as nice as Dennis' truck. I'll just be glad to have it going again.

Driveway Dreams · 07-18-2010, 11:02 PM

Mid coast nationals?

flamingbig10 · 07-18-2010, 11:38 PM

looks good Dennis nearly fell off my bed with my computer on my lap, when I saw the cab on the frame since it looks so good. I can't wait to the ls swap in my truck my but I can't decided if I want to do a total rear end over haul with disc brakes and a new chrome master cylinder and booster first or after

joe231 · 07-18-2010, 11:48 PM

That looks sweet!!!

mcbassin · 07-18-2010, 11:51 PM
