Much like many of you I am sure; I have a lot going on right now. When I posted my little hissy fit a week ago things had piled up a bit. I am impatient by nature, I always have been. This leads to dissatisfaction/frustration when things don't turn out the way they should, and when real life issues are added it weighs on me heavily. The truck should be an outlet for the everyday life issues, and that is what I am concentrating on, making the truck an escape from the grind and not an additional weight. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement, I drove her to work this morning and it was a great ride. Now I can't wait to drive to lunch...

Well, I've been on vacation with the family for a week, it was a great time but I am happy to be home. I was pleasantly surprised to find a package in the garage when we arrived home, the first part of the PB stage 2 rear...

I forgot to mention I'm thinking about entering her in a show tomorrow. I have never entered a car show but this one benefits a wounded warrior from the area, so I figured it won't hurt. I am not really interested in anyone "judging" my truck, hopefully there are more thumbs up than down. Of course I'll take pics...

**cericd** · 03-29-2013, 10:36 PM

I'd imagine there will be quite a few thumbs up.

I will be using the 2pc bolt in, I didn't want to get into the bed floor.

C10_ustacould · 03-30-2013, 08:30 PM

Took her out for a show today, she got a ton of looks but no hardware. It was a small show around 100 cars with no classes just Top 5 Best of Show and then 40 peoples picks. A lot of local club cars and they cleaned up the awards. No matter to me, met a couple of truck owners and of course turned them onto the forum. Here are a couple of pics...

Thanks, great screen name I spend a lot of time in the dog house myself.

C10_ustacould · 04-05-2013, 04:50 PM

Thank you!!

Just wanted to say thank you to all who have offered ideas, advice, compliments, and encouragement. At this point there are too many to list! I hope I can repay, in kind, all I have received during this continuing build/journey. Okay, I'm off to pick up my kid at school... in my Old Truck.
