Nice looking truck. Gonna be a good one when you're done. BTW, on your computer if you can browse to your pictures folder, right-click on a pick, and click "rotate clockwise" before you upload them, it will make them right side up when you load them up to the site! Hope that helps!

Justin@EntropyRad · 04-14-2015, 10:29 AM

looks like fun!

I'm going to go ice my neck now ;-)

Ta2Don · 04-14-2015, 10:41 PM

and welcome aboard…

Have fun, these trucks are a bit addictive...

chevy49 · 04-18-2015, 09:05 PM

thanks I have found these trucks to be rather fun and I'm not even on the road yet.I will try to turn my pics from now on it took me a bit to load a pic. No new pics but I did make a little progress today starter is all done and got the column wired up I think took the heater out and cleaned the leaves and acorns out. Hooked the blower motor to the bat and it worked fine it is all back in place now.

chevy49 · 04-27-2015, 09:51 PM

It's always sweet when they first fire up!

chevy49 · 04-28-2015, 09:46 PM

next on the list is the floor shifter and radiator. Then it may even move .that would be great.

Justin@EntropyRad · 04-29-2015, 03:44 PM
