I know what you mean, sometimes I miss the long loads but I would miss being home at night more.

I sanded every part of that truck 6 times or more and I mean every last part. I dont even know the hours we had in it painting, cleaning, preping parts, mock up parts, oh crap it hurts to think about it..........NEVER again unless I am getting payed to do it! And I was running St Louis to Columbia, Mo 6 days a week during the entire build.

I thought I wanted to open a custom truck shop back in 1998 when I did that truck but after doing it I changed my mind.......That was the hardest thing I have ever done to get it show quality and now it looks like **** because the guy used it for a work truck every day for 3 yrs before we bought it back and repainting it again for shows & pulling the race boats. He trashed hundreds of hours of custom work!

LMAO.....I used to haul "2" 50K hot rolled coils to Chicago with that truck after we finished it a few times a week......Chicago is worse than STL and I shure didnt go threw Litchfield.....lol

I was making good money til they cought me and JD doing that run......Thats one ticket I still have and should frame......138K when they scaled me.
So much for the easy cash overnite runs......Man those were the good old days,,,,now they would throw ya in jail.

thats gotta make you sick, that the only reason i would ever keep something after fixing it, cause after you sell it it usually will never be taken care of the way it once was.

That truck was washed every day and parked inside a heated shop every nite until I sold it. Now its out behind the shop in pieces getting redid but better this time. It was my first truck ever I bought in 1996 it was a year old.
