    Hope to see you in traffic next summer. I'd better not paint mine blue! Did you find yours in Dugald?

    Wow, our trucks could be cousins! Mine is "Battleship Grey" 429 w/ a Torino GT clip, mini tub and lowered. I like your front bumper, what is it? I run 235/75R15 on the rear and 215/75r14 on the front but I think I need to change that this winter. I think I can fit 31's on the rear and still keep it in the weeds. I'll post some pics if it ever stops raining while the sun is up!

    the front bumper is from a late 80s ford van that i narrowed 4 in on each side and trimed the top to match the contour

    A friend of mine recognised your truck. He sold it to you in Dugald. Nice work!
