Truck now has over 6,600 miles on it.

Looks like fun times were had even in the rain. Glad to hear your driving her around!

The wipers do work. It was the rain that came in through the open side windows that sucked. With the windows rolled up, it was a sauna inside the cab.

Here are a couple of pics I snapped this weekend.

I think it is time for this truck to go to the next level...I'm gonna get rid of the rust and paint the truck.

I have a decent 3 window cab that will simplify a lot of the rust repair. Trying to decide if I should make another dash like this one or try something different.

I always say, they are never really done. It is great that you have had a chance to enjoy the truck. Times change and we change. Good luck on the transformation and I look forward to some pics of the process.

Went to the Turkey Drags in Byhalia, MS



and got picked as one of the "Sweet Seven"

Cool! Dont give up on your boattail, though.

I won't give up on Roofus, but the truck overhaul may cut into its quality time. It all depends on how crazy I get with the rebuild.
