max, you already have it on the choppin block.... Good progress thus far.

Max

The truck looks great. You have gotten a lot done since the winter snows left.

I have just started back on mine as we have been busy with our store renovation in Waterton. I did manage to get some more concrete floor poured in my barn/shop and also built some work benches and stuff.

My truck now has a dedicated work station that is not in the way of anything.

any chance you want to show us how you hung your booster? is it in the stock location or did it need to be moved?
