SCS makes some really nice wheels. F5s are my favorite. I got them for our 5th gen as soon as they were available in a 17"

Upgraded the taillights...
A Variation on "Hey, watch this!"
One day after installation, at the last mudhole (hmm, that looks kinda big, and deep), on the last trail of the afternoon. This was my last thought before plowing in: "Hey, I've got a locker!"
I did make it through... barely. However, when I emerged from the water/mud/muck, El Guapo was making horrible metal-grinding-on-something sounds. Well, with less than 100 miles on it, I thought I'd trashed my new locker, and maybe my rear differential along with it.
It turns out the really loud awful noise was coming from the driver's front tire area. So, with the help of my friend and his son (and when I say "help", I mean they did most of the work), we jacked up the front end, removed the tire, and fished out the chunk of gravel stuck between the inner dust cover and the disc brake.
Then we turned to the milder scraping sounds coming from the driver's rear tire area. The son picked out everything he could see between the inside of the wheel and the brake, and then I dislodged the rest with a slow reverse and quick stop maneuver.
All of this took place on a kind of level spot, in the middle of the trail, at nightfall. To give you an idea of how deep the "puddle" was, I had pine straw and leaves caked on top of my control arms and at least halfway up my springs.

Am I the only one who sees the incredible irony in this statement?
Made room for the '93 in the garage. Baby, it's cold outside (in the mornings). 
Ooooh a early 70s model Gm pickup. What do you have hiding over there?Made room for the '93 in the garage. Baby, it's cold outside (in the mornings).
Ha. 1972. My grandfather bought it brand new. 350/4-bbl/factory A/C. I've got all of the original dealer paperwork and Protect-O-Plate. Refreshed the engine in 2012. Runs and drives like a top.
That is a clean looking truck. 67-72 is one of my favorite models. I have a 72

My Dad bought ours when I was in high school. It is the camper special. Has the factory tool box in the lower section of the bed factory a/c and a 402 bbc.

Very nice. Wish mine was a BB!
Got it home and got the winch hooked up, don't look at that weld it is ugly; but, one of the master welders spent about 10 minutes fixing it. He kept the ugly part so it would remind me that I need to practice! Hahaha I think it gives it the right character!

Did some laser printing and recreated the rear badge on the back. Some of you are familiar with the meaning of "Outlaw" on a vehicle. Specifically, it means the vehicle is modified so it can be driven the way it was intended, the way the manufacturer intended.
