Re: 85 long bed
I'm glad you and the truck are ok. Were you wearing your seatbelt?
So what got the worst damage, the truck, the tree, or your underwear?  Got some plans for the truck, or are you going to keep it original? Nate |

Re: 85 long bed
yea i was wearing my seat belt i always do, my mom got me into the habbit when i was a little kid so its just instinct to put it on. my plans for the truck are to get it one color MAYBE lower it just do odd and end stuff to it. debating on tail lights now, i like the look of the long caddys but i want something that will stick out in the crowd. any one have any suggestions?

Re: 85 long bed
Damn man glad that you are still around to talk about it. Truck doesn't look as bad as I thought it was going too. Looking better already keep up the good work. I kinda like the caddy lights too but they are everywhere you look so.
