You've pulled off better metal work with two and a half fingers than most people can do with ten.

Re: my c20 what ya think?
Good job dude! Truck is looking hot. Life gives all of us challenges, some more challenging than others. I was also injured at work 10 years ago, but you have to keep on truckin' because giving up is not an option!
Keep up the good work and keep posting your progress. Mike |

Nice ride, man. I especially love those wheels. What are the specs on them? Definitely like the swb C20!

Re: my c20 what ya think?
i m going for a ranch/farm truck it was my brothers truck he had it for 5 years wouldn't sell it to me he gave it to a friend of mine (for free) hither of them drove it fixed it put a battery in it yadda yadda .. i traded a golf cart for it . soooo i got it. and every one would say to me " boy your brothers truck looks good " well it never really was his truck he gave it NO soul or life . so now it my personality and its name is the "annoying orange" .... i had to change it so much that it wouldn't be his truck anymore ... he asked to buy it from me , i said no and we haven't talked in 2 months ...
