Here are a few more pics, how'd I manage to get a photo of the 10 seconds of sun we got that whole day!!! Just wanna say this truck is very well built and you guys were so fun to talk to. Many of us wish we had the balls to do what you did. I couldnt imagine taking all that into another country. Glad you stopped by and made the trip a success. Your truck looked so killer in my rear view mirror. I must say also, I was never fan of LED lights until I seen them on your truck. The look on peoples faces when you roll into a gas station are hilarious. We will meet again!

Thankyou very much Henry. Nice sun pic lol. My thought is take an old vehicle you built or rebuilt or take a new one they can both brake down, but you can fix the old one on the side of the road with a bubble gum wrapper and a zip tie. I hope to remember to post tomorrow we had a list of thumbs up from our trip.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

I found the list we made from our trip. We observed while we where in the truck traveling:
50+1- thumbs up, one from a corvette lol
7- comments
12- honks
24- gawkers
12- pictures
It was a fun little game.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Your truck deserves all those thumbs up, there is just something so right about that big red front end so close to the ground.:metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build

hahahaha that is a funny game. you could add so many things to that list, but I won't even go there. Spectators can make or break a day!!

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Very cool game! Do you have any other big trips planned?

Do it!!

I bought 3 copy's tonight January 2017 issue. I am blown away with this. The picture in the mag is the first time the truck was ever on the road. At the time not knowing how well the truck I pieced together would even work, to the amount of fun it has been for me, my family and everyone that supported the build. What an amazing first year. Thankyou to everyone on this awesome form as well.
