Really didn't figure this would happen. The site has gotten soooo slllooowww. It gets harder every day to find topics worth the time and effort. Oh well; The trucks are getting old and very few are original owner vehicles anymore. As BB King said "The thrill is gone".

Too cool! Almost as good as being there. The audio is great. Wish I knew how to embed but here's a link. Tell me if I got the right vid Ed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC8uWI_MfjE

Frustrating. You have my sympathy.

Wow, $200. They gonna kiss you before they bend you over? They must know that their the only game in town.

The link would work fine.

Stripped bolts sound like a nightmare. Looking forward to more pics. There haven't been many build pictures posted round here in a while.

Sounds like a great kind of auction. Were prices high or decent?

Sweet. I just scored an AMD cowl hood for my truck off ebay a couple weeks ago. Saving pennies for paint now.

Slow but sure is good. Parts are expensive when you go to buy a bunch at one time.

Thinking bout it. I'm stretched kinda thin right now. I'd hate to miss out though.

I know I've checked out this post 20 times. Being temporarily broke sucks.

Sure glad to hear that the pole is still doin it's thing. Last pics I saw of the new truck were looking good. Still working on it? Jason just wants company in the big truck payment world. :rollin: Kidding, of coarse. That's a super nice truck he got.

Here's a little reading for you. http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/topic/75296-awd-to-2wd-easy-beans/

Good advice. I suspect that your going to find a few worn out pieces.

It's good to know that there are still guys out there who know a great truck when they see one.

Worlds better than the black wheels.

Looking like a better score all the time.

I've never heard of your plug wire problem being common on our trucks but I can see where it might cause a slight miss. Zippy for the WIN.

Hey John good to see your still around. Which do you miss the most; The truck, or the pole?

Good to see you back around bud.

Mighty talented guy. Multiplied what his Dad left him many times over. http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/vic-edelbrock-jr-1936-2017

Mines not going anywhere. Not the first owner but lucked up and wound up with it. Bought a second truck to keep the miles down on the SSS but fall back in love every time I fire her up.

I guess you did get a little extra. Nice looking wheels Richard. Post a pic of them on the truck when you get a chance. I'd like to hear how you like the Nittos. I'm shopping for tires too.

I agree about the looks of the new trucks. My thoughts were more about the tech and performance of the new trucks leaving ours behind. I don't care for the current trend of shoe box styling and those huge chrome front ends on the new trucks. Those things + the price of admission are the reasons my truck isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Don't forget your pittman arm.
