Gmerrill0516 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 That's a great looking truck. Does it start run and drive? If yes, a little detail work on the back end and she will be show worthy. When you can, shoot pics of teh engine compartment, cab and rears. I love to see the details on everything. What is the plan for it in terms of set up? Good luck and enjoy!Greg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30649-finally-found-a-b81/#findComment-175936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
