    That would be a dream truck for me. I deleted my truck bc of all the emissions. Luckily DOT has never figured it out yet

      Walked in the shop this morning and Jake was doing something under the rearend. I'm not sure he wasn't taking a nap cause he wasn't moving. I did see where he had installed the wood floor. Progress being made.

                    Yes!

                    I miss the sound of that Cat 3406 waking up first thing in the morning in my old 379. Nothing else is anywhere close to a Cat.

                      These boyz are thinking way out the box on this project, sometimes I worry they thinking too far out there. I walked out yesterday and Jake is sitting there with the headliners laying on a table and a round light installed in the old rectangle light fixture hole. And then there is a broken Zildjian cymbal laying on the table beside it.
                      The wheels are turning as Jake walks off and returns with a precision measuring tool. He starts measuring and making marks on the cymbal, looks up at me and says he's fixin to make a custom cover ring for the light assembly.

                      Side note:
                      They must not make cymbals like they used to, I've beaten and dropped a 50 year old set so many times they should have been destroyed.

                        No bites on the cymbal post so here we go with the finished photo.

                              You're pushing a battle I can't win; done had the conversation, bought the hat and the t-shirt, and the powers that be said "no."

                              They just don't know how great your builds turn out Joey.

                                I don't know, a Detroit 0092 Silver crackled and rumbled pretty good coming down a hill holding against the jakes.
