Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
I just wanted to post these pics of Jeff's truck from the Route 66 Mother Road Car Show, in Springfield, IL, last weekend.
This is the first real car show of any size that Jeff has taken his truck. It's a COOL show in downtown Springfield. Everyone leaves there vehicles parked overnight, all weekend, from Friday to Sunday. It also brewed up a big rain storm overnight, so this was the first official time the truck got wet. (actually soaked!)

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
Hmmm,... not sure what happened to that first pic.
Here's a better one.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
That could very well be the best looking truck on the board. Nice job Jeff! Thanks for the pics Keith.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
Anyone notice the underside of the hood?
All smooth, with none of the "X" bracing exposed. Lots a subtle little things in this truck, that most don't notice.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
The only three things I would have done differently, and this is just me...no disrespect of this fine truck) would have been to shave the bumper bolts, cab seam, and shave the outer cab recesses that are exposed just in front of the bed.
But, by no means do those three things take away from the outstanding build.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
just wondering why you wanted to recess the radiator... it looks kinda off (in a bad way) of the notch in the core support... it looks like a heavy pole fell on your core support...

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
I just came across this thread and wanted to say very nice work on the truck, it's friggin' sweet in a serious way!!!
I do have one question I didn't see anywhere on here... What's up w/the a/c heater box under the hood? Is it chrome? Where'd it come from? That thing is killer.

It would be easy to hide a Vintage Air setup under the dash,... if you wanted to. Much cleaner than the stock A/C box.

Re: Pictures (from hot trux),....
