I’m still building that one in my head. Want to do some things differently but also not look too trendy. Plus need to get some time in between helping other people with their trucks.

Thanks, Jeff. Time to let someone else enjoy it.
Jesse, such an amazing transformation from what it looked like when you brought it home from WV. Really happy I had a chance to see in person and hope it does well for you on BaT.

Thanks, Brad(me too…)
Did you use the Vader light on this?

No vader light on this one. OEM plug on the dash in its place. @White Stripe - your old 3/4 tub spent the winter in AZ.

Wow that tub is close to home now. It originally came from Wyoming.

She’s sitting in storage now- will do another summer in the SW and then back to OH/PA.
That tub was way cleaner than his old tub. His old tub looked terrible. My old tub was in pretty good shape. I just didn't want to deal with the steel anymore.

I am saving a bag of popcorn to eat during the final hours of the auction to see where this spectacular specimen winds up.
I hope you are rewarded for your excellent work and attention to detail.
This will be an interesting litmus test for the strength of the market in general.

Thank you. It’s a little nerve wracking from where I sit.
Hardest part for you is setting a proper reserve.
High enough that you don't give it away for all the work put in, but also attainable for where the market is at.... which is the hard part to figure right now.
No shame if you set it too high and the market can't get there.
I watch a lot of auctions on BAT for other vehicles.
Having a thick skin and not taking the peanut gallery comments personally, being very responsive with information and peanut gallery questions, and just being a VERY patient, pleasant and present seller go a long way to bringing out the best bidders.
The good news is you know this vehicle inside out, every nut and bolt.
Many auctions are run by brokers who don't know the car and can't really market it and answer all the questions.

I hope you’re not going to far….you need gas !!
By the way like @Augustiron i watch a wide variety of BAT auctions in some cases as a barometer for what is coming and where it was. My gut says, I am not getting what I paid for 3-4 yrs ago
