i cant take the credit for the work. i bought the truck from John Winslow Sales in Halifax, North Carolina. he gave me a price on painting and tires i couldnt refuse.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Sure looks sweet! Welcome to the madness.

 

[jcappeljr]

Looks good,amazing what a little paint does.

 

[Trainman]

Very nice indeed! Whenever I finally get my big green machine, I may have to pay you a visit and employ you... Lol!

 

[197thhhc]

Thats a very nice truck.

 

[0311DAD]

the 1100's were definitely worth the money. i was able to cruise down the interstate at 62 mph turning 2300 rpm. and it makes it look beefier too.

 

[0311DAD]

thanks for all the compliments.
for some reason i dont think it will be sitting still this weekend. i forgot how much fun it actually is to drive a vehicle instead of just sitting there and turning the wheel.

 

[clinto]

Wow! Looks great. I love the color.

We look forward to seeing it in October.

What happened to the hard top? Was it to rusty to save or do just like the rag tops? I have a camo soft top on my solid green bobber. I like the soft tops. That is a nice looking truck!
See you at 12SSGR!

 

[0311DAD]

i wanted the soft top. i might regret it later, but i know where i can get one if needed

 

[michigandon]

Sure made for a handsome looking unit! I know who I'm going back to if I want/need anything painted.

 

[Durango_USMC]

Looks great!

your truck looks good just as it is. no way i would paint it.

I had to run back up there the other day to straighten out a titling issue. I casually mentioned (NOT complain) about the slow leak in my left front steer tire. He GAVE me another tire and wheel. How cool is that?

Not to worry, I'm very happy with my truck as it sets right now.

The camper trailer project that I'm scheming in my head may (or may not) need some cosmetic work, however.

 

[0311DAD]

i ordered a 24-12 volt converter to handle cell phone and gps charging. also ordered a dynomax bullet muffler to appease the neighbors. also on the to do list is a spray in bedliner in the cab to help reduce some heat and engine noise.

 

[michigandon]

What kind of converter did you get? Am in need of one myself.
