Thanks. You don't have to worry about me selling this ole truck any time soon. It would take a stupid offer for me to sell. I know that's not going to happen anytime soon.
One thing about mine, I have done all the work with the exception of some wiring help from my son.

Thanks Eddie. I have taken a few pics with shirt but they were both blurry. I will get one to add to your thread.
It's pretty cool getting to drive after all this time.

mcbassin · 08-31-2014, 12:13 PM

Video my son made for me. Enjoy

Kewl video. I know the feeling of finally getting to drive it. My next step is an LS conversion so I can drive it to work daily, I drive 130 miles round trip and the LS would definitely make it reliable and better mileage.

Xeen · 08-31-2014, 01:58 PM

My favorite part is when you drive by and hammer the throttle and it roars!

**thelonerife** · 08-31-2014, 03:27 PM

Nice truck!

tune_1 · 08-31-2014, 04:27 PM

Turned out great Mike. I'm going to "Ol Marais River run in Ottawa Kansas on Sep 19th thru 21st, that would be a good road trip for you. Just saying.

1stchevy · 08-31-2014, 08:55 PM

Cool video, your truck looks great!

hgs_notes · 08-31-2014, 09:58 PM

Very nice. Plenty of time this fall to road trip it yet.

sduckworth13 · 08-31-2014, 10:53 PM

Congratulations Mike, that's a great looking truck and it's sounds awesome. Seems like yesterday it was it primer. Time flys when your having fun, it was fun to watch your build for sure.

jlsanborn · 09-01-2014, 01:32 PM

Awesome video boys!! Truck looks and sounds terrific Mike. Thanks for sharing that. Motivational for sure!

Bennett68C10 · 09-01-2014, 01:42 PM

Hell yeah, awesome video Mike

the truck looks and sounds great!!! That video has definitely inspired me, watching you cruise down the road in that beautiful Red truck and mashing the throttle, simply awesome.

jlsanborn · 09-01-2014, 11:55 PM

Mike, I've watched the video like ten times, showed the Boy and Wifey and damn, it's nothing BUT cool. Five stars, 10 of 10, slam dunk. Wood grain trim??? Oh yeah, NOS baby! Congrats man, well done, motivator!

Thanks Keith. It's pretty fun to drive. Handles way better than I expected for a 40+ year old design. I'm thinking about adding a rear stabilizer.

Thanks. I really appreciate all the positive comments. This is the truck I have wanted since I got out of high school in the 80s. It's pretty cool to own and now drive my dream truck and yes it's all Chevy trim and emblems
