Congratulations to all the contendors. They are all winners in my books. :cool:

The "73-87 Truck of The Year" winner is my 1977 Chevy Cheyenne. I want to personally thank everyone that voted for my truck. The honor of winning this award is greatly appreciated. It's the same sense of pride I get when I have the truck at a show. The personal compliments I recieve through out the day far out weigh any trophy I have ever won. You guys & gals rock..... :metal:

Well I will say the bed was off and ground down to metal. :eek: Yes it did involve a minute detail that most people wouldn't notice. It was driving me crazy though.... :crazy: Fortunately Roger at Stoked Out was just as determined to fix as I was..... :metal:

You guys will just have to wait for "the rest of the story".... :p
