Re: Beth's tribute truck.
You were there and I wasn't, so we'll take your word for it.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
It was towed away but so was mine. I shoved my front bumper into the tire.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Not a lot of work to report on but there is some. My fingers are sore from making fuel lines. I think the chassis is ready to be reunited with the cab now

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
After many, many frustrating phone calls and emails I finally got the custom smoothie front bumper for the Tribute truck. It looks great! I also installed the remote mounted coil packs in the chassis. Weather providing I should have it at the body shop to be reunited with the cab.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Grant and I took the chassis to the Tribute truck out to the body shop to be reunited with the cab and bed. Can't wait to get it back with color on it.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Cabs are the worst! You've made lemonade out of lemons, and done so in impressive time. Congratulations on the progress so far and I can imagine Beth being very proud!
