************************RATE MY RIDE!*********************
HOPEFULLY YOU CAUGHT ME AT THE PITTSBURGH WORLD OF WHEELS SHOW LAST YEAR AT THE GIS AUTOMOTIVE BOOTH, IT WAS A BLAST! WE WILL BE BACK THERE AGAIN IN 2010!
These are before and after shots (as I bought it and a relitively new pic)
CHECK OUT MY OLD PICTURES STARTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!
New update: Just got my 37" Super Swamper IROKS on they look perfect and just made this truck, the 35's were just a little too small.
Heres lots of new pictures for ya! --- I tried a little wheelin too!(sort of) Hey, at least it looks cool!
I Panted my truck back in january '08, I sprayed all but the realy cool part, I have to acknowledge John Podolack of Eye Kandy custom airbrush for that, he did a fantastic job with the fire on my truck(that was a long 24 hours of airbrushing!), he too will be at the car show again this year, also at the GIS booth. Or you can call me at GIS at 412-487-4470, ask for craig or mark and we'll get you in touch with john.
he is the man!

this is one of my favorite mods to my truck, the blazer tank in the frame rails, SADDLE TANKS SUCK! it fills through the wheel well.
well after moving my fuel filler into the wheel well, i didnt need these much, it looks way better without them anyway.
these are from doing my cab corners and painting them & in-between the cab and bed.

my flamed headliner
WELL SINCE I COULD FINALY JUST ENJOY MY TRUCK, MOSTLY AT LOCAL SHOWS, BUT I DID MAKE IT TO SUMMIT RACINGS TRUCKFEST '08!
REALLY NICE SHOW (EVEN THOUGH IT POURED ALL DAY!) BUT THEY REALLY NEED TO SEPERATE THE HEARD WITH SOME CLASSES! I'M IN THE TOP FIFTY! HURRAY! (i.e. THE GUY NEXT TO ME WITH THE STOCK '08 SILVERADO, HE LEFT WITH THE SAME TOP 50 AWARD! MUST BE A LOT OF HARD WORK TO WRITE OUT THE CHECK FOR THAT EACH MONTH!)
I WAS A LITTLE DEPRESSED TODAY, WASHING THE TRUCK TO PUT IT AWAY FOR THE WINTER, SO I THOUGHT I'D TAKE A FEW PICTURES AND TRY SOME EDITING FEATURES ON MY CAMERA AND COMPUTER! I'LL CALL IT MY ARTSY SECTION!
ALSO HERES MORE REGULAR PICTURES!
THANKS FOR LOOKIN!
RATE MY TRUCK!
