This x1,000!

Love builds where a cat just "gets after it" and makes the truck the way they want it. No opinion threads, no questions on what to do with what... just get it done with what you have and aren't afraid to just get dirty and do it!

Great truck, and a great build!

Thanks for sharing your build. Thanks to jcramsey for turning me on to your build. It's posted in the low buck build threads now, so that others with like ideas can find it and read it. Truly a kool truck. I really like the looks of it. Clean and simple! And the inline six is just way too much.! Love it.

Love the color, love the white. Love this thread!
And I love this quote.:"A spray painted truck running down the road is better than a Porterbuilt, Accuair, LS swap truck all torn apart in the garage."
I might even add it to my signature, if Tx Firefighter doesn't mind.
