You need to use the IMG tags, not the <a href> tags.

Re: 77 GMC New Body

Gonna build a pavement punder huh? Friendly advice, if you taking that truck into a lot of mud this summer, you're going to have to worry about more than the cab. Mud breaks parts in the driveline, I have learned the hard way. Don't go either till you get yourself a winch and the strap that protects the trees.

BTW that pic in post 11 looks like something out of an Arnold Scwarzenegger movie.
