Nice. I hope mine looks that good some day. From that grill guard it looks like you're anticipating some attempts by deer to become unwanted hood ornaments.

nice looking truck, love the color (or lack of color) scheme. we rebuilt my motor last "winter" and didn't get the block, crank etc. back from the machine shop until late june. i didn't get back on the road for the summer until later in july. a lot of ground to make up.

That's excellent! Now you'll suffer from perma-grin like a lot of us do when we're driving our Flatheads... Have fun!
