Thats a really sharp looking truck!

Color wise, the red is a little loud for my tastes.. maybe if there wasn't so much of it (like if the fenders or bed were a different color) but it looks like the guy was going for the vintage "hopped up" vibe, and the red suits that nicely!

Whats the story on the '53 your middleman has his eye on? Is in in the same kind of condition?

I did both searches for the "how to shift a two speed rear", but haven't been able to find the thread. I'll keep looking and if I find it i'll post a link to it here.

an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
