I will keep you all posted once I get started. (just had back surgery yesterday so it will be awhile) This is my first post and I want to thank you all for the inspiration and great information you so freely pass on in a positive fun manner.

I can't speak for 1sik52, but I have no problem with someone else using the same color. A guy I know were I live is building a 67 pro street long bed. He liked the color of my truck, but as he said, "I didn't want to copy it" and that I might get upset. I told him, hey I don't own that color and if anything, someone else wanting the same color just mean I made the right choice. So paint yours prowler orange, it's okay with me.

P.S. If you do, post apicture!

There seemed to be a slight shortage of task force trucks being pictured so here's a couple of shots of mine. I was starting to get the urge to go get that '52 project I've been eyeballing lately.

And welcome to the site bigg4104.. It looks like you'll fit right in.

BIG CHEVY 3600 · 11-13-2008, 09:46 AM

Great looking trucks here; good work guys!
However I don't know how to post pictures directly to the forum. Can someone fill me in on this?

Speakin of GMC's...plus I didn't see any of these...here are a couple of shots of my 52 Burb project. Coined... "The Bus" by some of my local truck club buddies. Here is a link to a bunch more of the Web Shots. Work started back in 2000. Still has a long way to go. But it runs and drives and that's the best part as far as I am concerned!!

Thanks for the feedback. If my truck turns out half as well as yours I will be a happy man. Reading your build thread was like reading a good book (literally) with a great ending. Now im waiting for a sequel!! Come on man start another build!! Or better yet come to Alaska and build mine. You built a low one, come and build a high one!! I know some good fishin spots. haha
I will definitley post some pics when I get started and I pick a color. If I ever make up my mind... I feel a coin flip coming on.....

Thanks, Your truck is another source of inspiration.The tires are 305/70/16BFG A/T's. I think they are about 33".
Im not sure if I like the look of the 16" wheel. Im kinda partial to the look of the 15" wheels on the big tires. Are you runnin 16's? They look good. I might have to change my way of thinking.

I would love to start a new build, but the bank went dry on this one.

If I were to do somthing it would be a rat rod of some sort. I like the fact you can build somthing cool with out having to dump a bunch of money into it.
