Thanks guys. I have a couple shifter mounting brackets and I'm sure I can figure out the rod lengths and whatnot on my own - so I think I just...

Congrats - I can't wait to hear it in person!

Killer truck man and it's awesome to see it look exactly how I thought it would...... but I'd really prefer to not have to rub down an entire...

So this buddy of mine wants me to black flame the shit out of his wagon that may or may not already be satin black by the time it gets to me....
Kick ass big man! I know you've been wanting another for years. I'm very happy for ya. Like what they said - sweet truck, perfect stance!
