Let me provide you with a few words: Breath-taking, absolutely epic, unbelievably awesome, astoundingly impressive, errection provoking, incredibly captivating, ocular tearing, stunning brilliance.

Bravo good sir, for you have produced and posted one of the most inspiring builds I have ever seen. Thank you.

Question, Mr Slacker, Did you get any "grief" from the domestic individuals? My encounters are very "cool" from these purests. Stunning restoration.

All I can say is WOW! I love that! I checked out your website too. My rustbucket needs help! Can you get more stuff for 90-95's? I REALLY need rockers and cab corners-oh and bedsides. You don't seem to have as much for these trucks. Thanks!

OK thanks. I will look for cab corners and maybe get this thing un-rusted! Can I cut down the rockers for a standard cab? It looks like I could cut it in the center.

west side daze in West Kelowna ..
First hiway trip .. it's not real far from home , so this was a good thing .. didnt have a good nights sleep , as I was thinking of all sorts of problems .. but alas .. she ran flawlessly

arrived at 9AM and started to set up







Trekker got great acceptance , but again .. most people didnt know what it was , they just thought it was a ~ truck with a canopy !!

some interior shots for you ..

Very nice interior, not quite what I was figurin it would be though lol, I kinda figured it would have more woodgrain, and really didn't expect to see a pair of RF 12's in a show truck!
