Great project!!! I'm a big fan of projects. I did something similar on my F250. Going a bit different with the next project (DT466). Even if you don't get the truck finished by July, you should still come to PA for the Rally.;Sweet

Seriously? Your in Tanytown and have not made plans to attend the 2011 IDI Weekend? You been living under a rock or what? You will never be in a better postion to go, as this is as close to you as it is likely to be for a while.

Hey man I just joined on saturday (a.k.a 50 hours ago.) Have to see what else is goin on that weekend. I don't see any reason the truck won't be done by July.

Where is the rally at? Is anybody going to Carlile for the all truck nationals? I might be goin to that.

Just Follow the Link in my signature for all the details. It will be a hoot. No better place to show off the project than the IDI rally.

Looking good. Getting closer and closer. I'm bogged down in wiring/detail work on my project. The fact that I'm a detail **** doesn't help either. For me, the details are taking as long as the major components of my project. Hope we can see you and the rig at the Rally!
