I finally got around to posting pictures of the little hotrod pickup I brought to Bean Station a while back.

Chuey at Wade's Paint and Body sprayed it refrigerator white for me. It's kinda fun for picking on kids at stoplights on Saturday. As long as they don't hear it idling, which sort of gives it away. It carries two spares, you don't want to put different diameter wheels on the back in case of a flat. I have a gas tank, I am trying to see if it will fit - I'd like to ditch the safety cell. It takes too much room in the bad, you can't haul stuff. The ignition is identical to the GMC 'cept for the shaft and gear. It's curved a bit differently. It gets a new windshield next month - I can't get the lettering off easily, and this one is cracked. Interior is sort of rough. No heat or A/C though there's room to add both back. I think. If an interesting trade comes along, I'll swaop it off. Otherwise it's sorta handy as a spare toad, garbage hauler, and Saturday Fun Machine.
