Today was a good day. Finally took my truck out for its first drive since I've had it back together. I've got a few minor things to tweak, but thankfully no major problems! I still can't wipe the smile off my face! haha

Just an update to my thread. I've just been tinkering right now.

I recently upgraded to LED bulbs in my cluster and dome. Really makes a difference in the dome light!

Also, just getting everything tuned in. I just wish the weather was better so I could actually get out and drive the thing! haha

A member on here wanted to hear my truck idle so I made a quick video. Thought I might share it here in my build thread as well.

Great looking truck but I see a light that doesn't work. I will take it back to my workshop and fix it there & bring it back. That is a play on a part from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas when he stole Wendy Lou Who's tree.

Not much to report on. I have taken the truck out a few times. I'm really waiting on warmer weather. We got hit pretty hard with some snow/ice last week in Georgia.

Thought I'd post some pics I took a while back
