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

Re: 1969 Short Wide

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

Alignment shop


Down by the lake







Norman train station




OKC

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.
