Looking forward to your next build my brother . enjoy the truck, no doubt , you not only have earned it, but you built it with your 2 hands. Thank you for all the help you gave me, I'll pay it forward. sorry to get all mushy on ya, but felt a need LOL Mike Allen

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Hey Bam, I wanted to pop on here and thank you for all the time you put into posting pictures, writing updates, answering questions, and putting up with the general truck guy ridiculousness, haha. I'm mostly a SquareBody guy, but I like all of them. I'm also a modified-stock guy, or stock+ guy, but I enjoy the customs and can appreciate what it takes to them put together. Love seeing your metal artistry. I know your humility doesn't allow you to accept a compliment like that, but it's really true. We also share an appreciation for simplicity and integration that leads to its own kind of elegance and presence. Your truck has that, enough to share. In fact, sharing has been the real theme that I've seen as I have read page after page on here the last few days. Your time, your knowledge, your patience, your experience with the tragedy at Santa Monica College. I've appreciated your sharing it and your perspective. The video with your wife caps it all off. Loved her enthusiasm. Cracked me up because I couldn't hear you on my phone with the first couple of videos you did, but I had no problem hearing her, haha. WHO LIKE OLD CARS? i do. WE DO, HE DO.
Please keep posting so we can see where you take it and how you enjoy it. Thanks again man. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
great looking truck! I have a big window 56 with both a step bed and a fleet 58 bed and flip and flop between which I want. Your truck makes a strong argument for a fleet! bee-yoo-tee ful

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Congrats on finishing the truck. Awesome build. Great documentation. I was beginning to think it was going to go over 100 pages.
