Yeah, sometime getting parts can be a big pain in the ass. We made up a to do list this week to finish off two of our trucks, Ive only got a few small things, my brother had a whole page full.

Sorry Rich,
Hope you get some rhythm going! Yes it's hard to believe how much time it actually takes to get all loose ends tied up. I don't know how many temporary fixes become permanent !!!LOL
Well going to change tires, plugs, fill fuel and detail the truck for Saturdays bog!!
Putting a set of 35's on it!!!

Good luck Dex! Those 38 boggers? If they are you have to runn'em against the 44's don't you? Also be careful with those 38 and that independent front end!!
Rich watching Gussies? What do you have from keeping you from finishing up?
