Nothing better than a "truly" owner built truck...

....BOOM!

mcbassin · 10-03-2014, 11:39 AM

Thanks Mark and Rob.
It's pretty cool when someone asks if you built it and you say yep every nut and bolt.

Took off work today and got the truck aligned then took it on a 150 mile cruise. Drove it down by the lake then Norman, OKC and Bricktown. Had a blast driving the truck it runs great. The truck rides pretty good and has no problem accelerating up to highway speed. The A/C and cruise also work great. Very happy with everything so far.
Ignore the layer of dust. It needs a good detail

Thanks Brandon. The gears are quiet so far. I think it's good to go now. Saving a bunch of upgrades this winter. I'd really like new wheels and tires first, then the posi.

Thanks Buck. I like the way it looks. I think it will look a little better when I get the wheels and tires I want.

Thanks, it is pretty cool driving the old truck. Very surreal after all those years.

Thanks Keith. You'll be there eventually. I had to watch a bunch of other members get their' projects finished over the years. I just use that as motivation.
