Thanks boys. You are reliable comfort. If I'm honest, it was a bit soon for me too. I knew it was the likely outcome from the jump, but I did get keen on showing it and maybe even having it judged.

Unfortunately, 2020 has turned into a real Melvin (you may have noticed). Once the truck was finally complete, shuffling it off to an ACA or C10 National level event didn't seem like a real possibility anytime soon. And since bread is always better when it's fresh, now was the time.

I learned a lot and got my pics so I'm good. But gosh, I did hate to see the tow hooks go ;P

Hate to see it go, but sounds like it found a good home. 2020 certainly has "turned into a real Melvin". Perhaps we should change professions and work on trucks for a living - definitely a safer proposition with just as many cuss words.

It is bitter sweet to see her go. Always a pleasure working with IronCanine and can't wait for the next one... Molly will be ready to watch over it

Many is the time I have allowed myself to dream such a dream...

Thanks Bud...my favorite pic of the build. Glad it made the thread.

I guess all good things come to an end. Melancholy sets in with me when I sell one.

What's next?

It'll be a while...but here she is. '70 K20 Z62. 538 two tone with a blue interior. She's mine and she's a keeper. Just parts accumulation and subassemblies for now. Maybe pull her into the shop in earnest sometime next year.

You know I’ve already been on the fence about putting my truck back 4wd, you’re not helping.

Thanks for the kind words my friend. Not my choice...and I did feel the pang a bit when I walked away.

Are you kidding me!? That is just amazing. My jaw dropped. I loved it in caps, but those rally wheels just made it over the top IMO.

Thanks for sharing that.

No problem...fun with photoshop.

Man this thing came out sweet! Thats the one type of 67-72 I dont have (4WD). Build threads like this one get a lot of guys like me in trouble with their wives! Great work that truck is beautiful.

Damn. That is crazy...but his pics are very good. She looks awesome. We talked to BAT before we listed it on eBay...they didn't seem super interested and we were pretty far apart on the reserve. I hope he does well...but not so well I get my feelings hurt.

Wished I would have bought it from you. It wouldn't be on BAT for sure.

I wish you had too. I would be very happy in general if she wound up with a board member.
