    Thanks for the good feedback. Its a 40 cab chopped about 4" and channeledd 8" with a 36 truck grille, small journal 327W/muncie, its a blast to drive but pretty damn loud in the cab and unless something happens Im driving it to Bowling green for the reunion. Man is the wife gonna dig that drive

  16. More proof that a fresh coat of primer and clean wheels look better than rust and six different colors of flaking paint.......... most of the time.
