Yeah. I opened it up on the 16th (normally the 15th) and close it a week before the 1st.

Post by: dustystrucktoo on March 26, 2009, 04:28:18 am: Me personally, I have seen many tall ones like Fitz win because fo the lifting. ccz, that truck isn't done yet, though that is close., I don't see too many with the original paint looking as they came off production.. Jay's almost got me with that grill and side mirrors. Kooler I don't think you intended it, but the angle of the photo reminds me of being about 6 and looking at a gorgeous truck. It looks perty and mean, and brings that sense of being 6 again, not knowing anything of what the truck is but it looks real good. "Wow He's cool!"

Post by: Captkaos on March 26, 2009, 11:59:29 am: Guys, you are only voting on the truck, pics are what I could find. I would expect better pics as we do all the time on these, and if you can't provide one let me know and we will remove you from the voting..

All of these trucks are listed under the RIDES section of the board if you want to see more info on them. In fact every owner potentially has a rides section for their truck.

Fitz truck actually has been lowered, but the recent pic was too dark
CCZ truck is completed (well except the bumpers), he just hasn't came up with new pics
KoolerSL2 has better pics somewhere but I was in a hurry to get it up.
Jay6776 truck sent me a better pic, but that was all I had at the time.

Me personally, I have seen many tall ones like Fitz win because fo the lifting.

Dustystrucktoo, I couldn't agree more. I removed the lift/tires and replaced them with a 4" lift and 35"s. Just waiting on a few more parts and it will be ready to be driven daily.

The dream, Thanks. The truck has a SB 400 with TPI, turbo 350/205, And a 14 bolt (Eaton posi)/10 bolt front with 4.10 gears.

Dave kay, Any pics of your trucks?. So far the only 8' step sides I've seen on here are Oldwhity's and mine. Would love to see a few more.

Post by: timmy2kegs on March 31, 2009, 01:48:38 am: I'm sorry guys but a blue, 4x4 long-step and a red raked fleet draw an even tie in my book. There is No way to break that cool-factor tie without utoob vids of one in the mud and the other at a green light, and both on a local roll would be cool too. You two got a coupla BAD trucks there. Kudos to the both of you for such nice rides.

P.S. To the rest of you guys: Don't stop doing what you're doing, you're coming up with some really cool trucks. :cheers:
