Done!
Went to get the color pin stripe yesterday and it made it home, about 30 miles. Steers great, rides good, has a ton of power and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Jury's still out on this GM switch pitch transmission experiment I tried. Seems to be a little too loose cruising on the freeway but I'll give it a while.

Re: Done!
That is wicked, It looks right and sets right. Your choice of wheels and tires are right on the money too. Just modern enough but totally correct for a Taskforce truck.

Re: Done!
I really like the way you transitioned the two tone from the cab to fender accent lines. Man I really like your truck chop and the pancake hood just make it work, subtle stuff a lot of people will not notice because it was done so well.

Re: Done!
Gotta be an a blast to drive. Don't be surprised to find the amount of work for the area chiropractors goes up do to heads being turned as you drive by.

Re: Done!
Thanks for the response and Dan is correct. Only about a million "little" things to do including getting the AC charged and seeing if that high dollar Vintage Air hose really seals on those fittings. It's been a love-hate relationship for a while now but it really does take on a new look when you get to see it out of the shop. We're going to a cruise in tonight. I'll try to get a picture with the beltline pin stripe and see what ya'll think.

Re: Done!
Thanks Ogre. You know DONE is a relative term. I was trying to follow a theme, kind of like what Mr. 48 hinted at, without getting too many other themes involved, kind of like those term papers that came back all marked up in red. I am happy with it but it won't be in Payson this year, Allan. It's been registered in the Oracle show for 2 years and by golly this year it's going to make it. I have to salvage some pride since I grew up(another relative term) around there.
