What did you do with your truck today?
« on: November 20, 2014, 12:29:51 pm »
Hey everyone, on some other forums I am a member of there are continuously updated threads of what you did with your "insert ride here" post up project progress or a picture of your truck in a cool place.

Whatever you want as long as it's related to your truck! Also pictures are definitely appreciated!

Let's get this going! It's always a fun thread to subscribe to if we can keep it going!

I've never seen an m1028 in person! That's awesome! How is that painted? Sold to civilians?

Stared at it in frustration. Freezing rain.

My M1028 is painted olive drab.
I just picked up a M1009 Blazer parts truck painted camo.
These trucks are auctioned off to the public.

I just got home from dragging my buddies 02 crew cab 2500 out of the mud on a goat path he had no business being on with my 87 V 20.

I still have Yellow Snow, just needs a motor transplant. Been driving an 87 I picked up the end of last winter.

Must be a good feeling knowing the classic still works as good as or better than what's out now. I definitely enjoy cruising around in my 78 c15

Have you decided which motor you are going to use? Its almost time to put the plow on yellow snow.

im with fitz all my 91 v3500 crew did was drive me back and forth to work. today in the morning will be a tad different. im going to try making some speaker brackets for our trucks and maybe try to find a way to incorporate the 2001-2007? chevy tow mirrors into our trucks. some have made them into the vent window but im thinking something different maybe use the oem mounting

Drove my 78 c15 to dinner. Reminds me that I really need to replace the weatherstripping on the vent window.
