Barely a day away from home and she’s already gotten a tattoo...

The things they do when they get away from their parents and go wild!

It comes and goes, sometimes you just need a break. I unfortunately didn’t have time available for one. Give me a week away from her and I’ll be in full lust again...

Be safe on Your 36 month Vacation. I'll miss the updates. Keep a picture of that pretty face behind the ones that matter the most.

TA_C10 · 03-29-2021, 10:51 PM

36 months? Are you doing a Tour of duty?

Truck is awesome congrats. Most complete I've seen it man but still always anxious to see what you do next.

fatbass · 03-30-2021, 01:34 PM

36 months without an update? I has a sad.

3 year “hardship tour” in Germany. I may not be able to work on the ol’ girl, but I somehow get the feeling updates will still occur

Parts are already showing up with Gringo's name on it! The next 3 years are going to be great for me, when I order something for the Blazer I can just tell my wife that Gringo ordered it.

That's awesome. Maybe you two could ship parts back and forth to fool the women in your lives.

smbrouss70 · 03-30-2021, 08:24 PM

I really don't have much of a problem with the wife and ordering parts. Gringo's wife just goes ahead and orders what he really wants but doesn't want to spend the money on! Hell, she might have ordered that shifter!

Lol. Sounds like a good Girl.

Ratchet will know. Good thing all you get is that look from him.

enduroride · 03-31-2021, 03:48 PM

Gringo, you probably should have put your truck on the lift and unhooked the motor from it so he couldn't take it back down until you get back

Probably would have saved it from falling apart again...

To be fair, there’s no one else I would trust to be elbow deep in the old girl. She is definitely in good hands.

Progress? Pretty sure it was a mostly complete truck when I left

The best.

**Kronald_70GMC** · 05-02-2021, 03:58 PM

Hmmm I'm interested to see what you've got planned this time around. What ever it is, I'm confident it will be bad a$$!

darkhorse970 · 05-02-2021, 08:37 PM

I need that Crew up here working on mine!

Woodnears · 05-03-2021, 11:25 AM

Hey! Do you still have the bucks for the inner fenders? I have to do this to my fenders here shortly. Id be happy with a piece of paper and maybe just trace that line on it. Ill pay shipping if you can help me out! Awesome Build!

LT7A · 05-03-2021, 04:23 PM

Have a good safe trip! I hope all goes well. Looks like the truck is in good company, even the boat matches.

Shes getting some final details from the LCTC crew. They are taking the time that I didn’t have to make it right and continue to shake down and work out the bugs. Then they get to cruise it until I get back

Keith (darkhorse970) has them. smbrouss70 and Scoti are also in line to use them, but I’m sure you could convince one of them to trace a pattern and drop it in the mail. Try sending a PM to Keith.

All of the trucks are a 1970 model year, also!

I went and added another Blue one to the stable. I think I have a problem...

Work on Gringo's truck will resume next weekend.
