Hey Jack
i bought the truck 13 years ago from your neighbor hood closer to Tucson off a large cattle ranch originally red when I got it drove it for awhile then decided to do what you see it has come a long way sense then.
Looks amazing. What an inspiring build. Your not to far from my duck club. I'll have to come see this awesomeness.......sometime.
Man that truck is turning out nice, I did an OM617 in a 55 … the 6-cyl is much smoother and quieter. Local guy swapped this motor into a SWB GL280, super nice setup. Would love to check out some day -
