Thanks, Keith. Actually, it would be quadruplets!!! Fan2zee's truck is pretty much an identical twin and BigArmZZ bought that truck after he sold mine to Frank Monroe. Of course, you know the story of yours! haha Good job building all of them!

Re: 1987 swb

Very nice truck, I definitely admire your taste in visual upgrades.

Edit: What kind of hood is that anyway? Goodmark? it looks like it lines up nice.

I'm not really sure to tell you the truth. I'd go look at it if I could but I'm in Korea and the truck is resting in the Smoky Mountains...

Re: 1987 swb

Dang.... I MISS THIS THING!!! 2 years to go!!! Just an update... I'm still in Korea, focusing on getting my Pathfinder paid off as well as my wife's student loans. I'll be debt free and ready to work on this truck when I get back to it!
Something to think about if you are stuck on your project... There are many people all over the world that would love to have the opportunity to go work on their cars whenever they wanted... Get up off of your butt and make your dreams a reality if you have the chance!

Re: 1987 swb

Thanks for the well wishes, gentlemen.

Kumar, I've had people ask me about the truck off and on. I promise if I ever go crazy and decide to get rid of it, you'll have a PM waiting for you. You'll have an easier time buying your dad's truck, though. Hahaha

Frank, what trucks do you have right now? Just the yellow one? How is your son doing with his vehicle?

Reuben,
I still have the yellow truck that Dennis helped me with. I have the two blue 77's also. As for my son.....well he decided he was a Cummins man and thats the only reason we sold the red truck. We bought my wife's grandpa's 97 12 valve four wheel drive extended cab. He has added 4" stainless exhaust , fuel plate, home built air intake, and a gov spring kit. Lifted the front 2" with a leveling kit and added 35" Nittos on black Rockstars. He bought a ranch hand grille gaurd and had it re powder coated. He just started on the stereo and added a cb radio. It's different than anything I ever owned but it's his and how he wants it so i let him pick his mods. Both of my boys love it so I know what my 13 yr old will be looking for. My youngest is looking at a cummins conversion on a 1999 single cab 4x4 ford super duty. He keeps shoving info in front of me on it and how we could do the conversion. I think we will just find another dodge. Keep up the good work and thanks for doing it.

Frank,

Sounds like your boys have it all figured out. That's awesome! Thanks for the kind words on the job, but I love doing it! Abigail says hello, BTW. Take it easy!
