Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
I like what you've done.
A canopy is a practical addition that I have given much thought. The problem I keep having is how nothing looks right to me. The only thing in my mind's eye that I can visualize working with our generation truck is something made from wood. And now I see it on your truck. A short stepside to boot. I like it.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Very nice work Murph!
Do you plan to leave the cap on once that you reach the destination? I am hoping that your trip goes well!!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Ok guys, just so you know I am not missing from the face of the planet... just a note to let you all know, we made it home safe and sound.
As soon as I can find a better arrangement than sitting in the tow truck in the parkinglot of Mc-Ds, I promise to update my threads, and tell the chilling, yet heroic tale of our adventure from Alaska home. Promise.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Hey man, things are looking pretty good for the long trek south. I like what you did with the shell and the bumper on the wrecker is a huge improvement. Looking forward to meeting in person when you get down this way. I'm sure I'll make it to Greg's for the get together. Good luck, and I'm looking forward to pics and stories of the trip.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Awesome before and after pics.
Can't wait to see both trucks in person. Man do I feel like a failure. Mine/no attention/sitting. Getting everything else done if that counts. Going to be EPIC |

Truck is looking awesome and I like the originality. I liked the growl in the Maiden Voyage video. Good meeting you and your wife today. Take care and good luck at Lewis.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
For any that still remember me, and are interested, no; the world did not swallow me up.
I do however live in what I call "The Techno-hollow" where I literally have to fight to get a text message out. I will hopefully be in a place where I can get online from time to time, and I will.... I totally promise, to recount the trip down from Alaska. Anyways, if you are local, hit me up....my cell number is still the same, so if you have it, dial it up !! Everyone else, I will see you here soon!! Oh yeah, nearly forgot, used the Tow Truck today to drag a 1960-ish C-10 Stepvan for my friend. I hope he starts a thread. It looks just like the one from Cheech and Chong.....
