Dennis, a dog stroller man? Come on now! You know you will be getting funny weiner comments for ever now! By the way, the cab looks killer and I cant wait to see it mounted.

JohnC · 07-17-2010, 03:01 PM

I just got back from vacation too Dennis. I thought I would have missed a lot of progress because I went on a week long unplugged vacation. Remind me to never do that again. It took me all day yesterday to get caught up on all the updates on here. Then to top it off I get spy photos of you pushing a dog stroller

Cab looks amazing man. I can't wait to see it sitting on the frame!!!!!

X2 on that!! It's one thing to tell someone you have a dog stroller, you could tell everyone that it was your wife's, but to have photo evidence. Man, that takes guts, Dennis you are the MAN!!

Oh and by the way the cab looks great!

I can relate to loving the dogs. I have a few too, not the stroller though....where did you get that bad boy?

Your truck is starting to look like a truck again! Wow looks like your paint guy has some skills!

Driveway Dreams · 07-17-2010, 07:35 PM

Looks good man! I liked the one you texted me, but all these other ones...wow! Its coming along great! Looks like its about time for a first drive video. Glad I can help everyone harass you a bit too. Only because you are a good sport.

And guys, they really love those dogs. But they are cool little dogs.

draggin86 · 07-17-2010, 07:50 PM

looks really good man! All the choices you made work perfect together!

**nlped** · 07-17-2010, 08:21 PM

The paint on the bed is a little faded lookin' , I'd raise heck with your painter.

JK... It looks amazing!!! Can't wait for some more updates!

Showed these pics to my fiance and the only thing she wants to know about is where you got the d@mn dog stroller!!! She wants to push her Morkie around in it.

54Caddy · 07-17-2010, 08:26 PM

looking good, needs to a lower dont you think dennis. looking nice man. Lucky guy with all the trim holes in the bed. thinking of looking for another bed with trim holes for my truck.

**LEEVON** · 07-17-2010, 10:07 PM

well basically you have the badest-ass 73-87 ever. Just saying.

menace121978 · 07-18-2010, 07:41 AM

thank you for the nice comments!!

i apprieciate them guys!

and imo i dont think she'll offically be the baddest until she's all back together with a magna charger sitting on top the engine and a mild air bag system

- just dreaming here!

**nlped** · 07-18-2010, 11:07 AM

^^^That would certainly put Silver over the top!

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

WoW!
That looks sweet!!!

mcbassin · 07-18-2010, 11:51 PM

You guys can meet right here in Oklahoma. Right in central USA!
