i think the orange and black of Hooligan's shortbox goes well with the october theme
Are you just gonna lay there and bleed or are you gonna cowboy up?

Hooligan, you fellow Virginian you, take that nice truck up 460 east to the other side of I-81 from Salem to the Blue Ridge Parkway overlooking Roanoke, you know, by the big lighted star, and take some pics there with the nice scenery overlooking the valley.   That will look awesome!  Do it before all the colors of the trees go, if it isn't too late already.  Don't downsize the pics and post em. 

I take pics of my trucks on the BRP or Skyline Drive all the time...there are two in with these here:  one of my sub, one of my Green Monster www.delbridge.net/79truck.html

Folks, if you're gonna take great pics of your 4-wheeled members of the family, as realtors always say, Location, Location.  In this sense, Background, Background.

I wish I could tell you, but I am not sure. I had a guy from anothersite photoshop it for me. I believe photoshop is the software, but I am not sure. He did it in black,blue,silver,white,yellow orange and red. Pretty neat how they did it.

I would man but the truck isn't tagged yet.  The Mill Mtn. Star is about 10 miles from my house.  I can see it from my front yard.  About the best I can do is a High Res pic in the driveway.  Sorry guys.

I thought your truck looked all right for being in primer!  Would have made a better entry for snow/december tho.  ;)

Dang!  Looks like I got the most votes.  I wasn't expecting that at all, didn't even vote for myself.  Thanks Fellas.  I need to start working on the thing.  I can't wait to get it out on the roads.
