Title: Hi, new guy here from Iowa! Currently building a twin turbo cummins powered crew
Post by: eric28miller on February 04, 2013, 07:49:32 pm
Hey Everybody!
Don't know why I never found this forum sooner but here I am  :)
I can't wait to see everyones rides and builds.
I'm still in the process of building mine, a twin turbo 6.0 12 valve cummins into a lifted 89 crew cab with Ford King Ranch interior.
Here's a few teaser pics, i should have a build thread starting soon:

Welcome to the site from Central California!  That's an impressive looking project!  Gonna build it to show?  You should start a thread in Members Rides.

Thanks guys!
Yea i'll be starting a thread here soon in member rides, gonna take forever to upload all the pictures with the little spare time I have..
Been building the truck for 2 years this spring, sold all my toys to fund the project, but figured i better build it now before i get married and have kids.
I'm 24 and i've never owned a truck before, but grew up in the passenger seat of a c/k farm truck.  Now i'm taking over the family farm and need a good work truck. I could either go spend a ton of money on a new truck only to lose half it's value in 5 years or build the ultimate work truck that will actually holds it's value. And someday i'd like to give it to my Son when he takes over the farm.
I plan on using and abusing this truck like they're built to do, and maybe go to a few truck pulls over the summer.
It would be very cool if this truck made it into a magazine! but i'm not going to get my hopes up : )
Well i'm gonna start checkin out some threads, which by the way Pholliday1 do you have any pictures of your truck? That thing looks mean!

Also do you guys know if there is anyway to upload an entire photobucket album rather then one picture at a time?..

Also do you guys know if there is anyway to upload an entire photobucket album rather then one picture at a time?..

Are you wanting to bring all the pictures in an existing photobucket album to this site?
Or, are you wanting to upload a bunch of pictures to photobucket all at once?

If I was wanting to share an existing phonebucket album with the forum I would simply post a link to the album.  I wouldn't try to upload every picture simply as I don't know of a bulk upload process.  This link should allow you to view all 60 or so photos of my 87 Suburban:
