    And i yanked the bed to start on the tilt and air horns, and do some body work to it.

    This will motivate me, as it now beats me to death without the weight back there...lol


    after i yanked the bed, i washed the frame and tank.
    After it dried, i was working on the rear tires, and had one side of the truck jacked up, running and in 1st.....yes it was chocked while i did that .
    unfortunately there was a can of red paint next to me, and i had an ADHD spell.....lol

    Looks cool going down the road.:looney:

    im still amazed at how nice the frame is on this thing!!
    Makes me feel bad that im going to cut it all up..................NOT!
