Had to get some other stuff in the garage so I pulled the truck out. For some reason it looks like a toy to me.

Since my daily is down I drove the panel home. Took the gf out in it. Pic at the end of the night.

Got up today and headed to Kentucky Speedway for the Mario Andretti Experience. Got to drive an Indy car around the track. Hit 160.88mph. Good times.

I opted to go with some from the rear doors of a jeep to allow my door to open a little further. Things hard to get out of laid out with a knee knocker as it is. Really happy with them.

And one of it at dinner. Really love driving this thing. Can't wait to finally finish the inside and start really driving it. Right now with the crappy rainy weather it makes it hard to drive.

Set my rear seats in just to see how they fit. I'm pretty happy with how they look and fit. They don't lay flat as they are suppose to due to the wheels but they lay back to create a lounger when combined with the front seats. They are good enough for sleeping on. Can't wait to take this thing camping

Went on a little vacation so no work got done on the truck. Home for 6 days then going on vacation again for another 7 so I need to knock some stuff out.... But I didn't feel like metal work today so I went electrical. I upgraded from the switchbox that I made (which was fine) to an AVS 7 switch controller. Just to give me more control of the truck. Also started trying to get all my dash done. Working on making the digital speedo fit and work in my 63 cluster without buying a $400 adapter. Take some pics tomorrow and get back on some metal work.

Hopefully I can get it all installed possibly even tomorrow. Decided to cruise the truck some since it finally wasn't raining.

Drives great. It drives better than my dd truck. It kind of rolls in corners but I have no sway bars currently. Probably try to add some one day and that might help it. Other than that it does great.

I got my front sway bar from a 2wd 87 burb, worked great.

Haven't really worked on the truck any. Just been driving it while I have my DD ford torn down. Also been out of town. Went to Puerto Rico to drink and hang out on the beach for awhile (teacher life). Bought another toy. Bought a 62 C60 dually. No real plans with it as of yet. Might just flip it, might cut it down and make it a long bed.

Took the C60 to our lake. Went great getting there. Not so good on the way back. Think the throw out bearing went south.
