    After blowing up my engine once and a few other problems, I have finally got my truck out on the road. I have some stuff left to do to it, alignment, gl***, bed work, clean up all the wiring and ***le **** but it is running and driving.

    Very cool truck! Love the fleetside and that color ( not the primer :D) with the white accents is killer!

    I cut about 6" off of the back. I thought it looked way too long in the *** end.

    The green is the paint I am sticking with. I will probably do a white metal flake roof and the bedside spears.

    Perfect, I'd like to see it in person some time. I used to have a Fleetside shortbed that I wished I had back.

    No, I missed the show this weekend too. I have a few things to do it before I really get out and drive it.

    Thanks again everybody! I have been jacking with it for over 6 years. I can only work on it on the weekends and that means about 45 miles one way to go work on it. I appreciate all the comments!
