Awesome! Other than chilly, how'd you like it Drew?

1985-GMC · 11-16-2011, 09:25 PM

Sweet, I bet that was a great feeling! Did you get any bugs in your teeth?

drewskiren · 11-16-2011, 09:40 PM

Madness I say, Madness. Had to do it though. It rode well, but was loud like on a motorcycle. Power brakes are not working, a buzzing noise somewhere, and did I mention I was cold??? I need to get it further along to really see what it will be like. Overall though, great to be between the ditches once again.

JimmyFloyd · 11-16-2011, 10:07 PM

that's my dream truck right there. Glad to see someone is making it a reality.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-16-2011, 11:38 PM

Do you have a vacuum leak by chance?

VA72C10 · 11-17-2011, 12:19 AM

Congrats on the test drive!

67chevy1series · 11-17-2011, 12:54 AM

well drew what did you expect from an A/C cab??????

rou · 11-17-2011, 03:10 PM

We have been using that same Miller welder for over a year now and really like it. We had some fun building a cart for it. Here is the post of the cart

I have been stalking this build from the beginning. Great job on your build and thank you for the continued motivation/inspiration. Rou

Thanks, and yes, there is a local liquor store that is looking for a beat up mini shopping cart.

The small extinguisher is designed to buy me time to get to the big one on the wall.

As a firefighter, I know how fast things can go bad, particularly with sparks flying around our 130 year old barn.

mblackburnjr · 11-17-2011, 09:48 PM

Wow! I've spent a couple hours getting up to date on this thread. And all i can say is....I'm not worthy!....I'm not worthy! You have inspired me to get started again and i'm combing boards for parts. GREAT JOB!

Slick67 · 11-17-2011, 11:39 PM

VA72C10 · 11-18-2011, 12:48 AM

Actually...still number 2 in views...but NOT by much....will be any day now.....and he'll blow past it as it's still an active build....probably end up over 300K...

I'm not really sure you can top the most popular model, building something that didn't exist that most agree is a more useful truck, and doing it well.

I'll probably drag the interior out 6 more months, so I'll guess over 400,000 views. Wow, I think I must have struck a gold mine of interest.

Thanks, now we just need to work on magazine coverage. How do I go about that?

drewskiren · 11-18-2011, 01:51 AM

I built windows for another remodel phase on my house tonight, so no progress on the truck. I can hit it Friday afternoon and some on Sunday.
