Thank you, no the outfit I have been with for the last 19 years is from northern Washington. By the way Oregon is my favorite state, great people and beautiful country. Great junk yards and old farm trucks everywhere.

It is good to see you here. I have seen pics of your truck floating around and have always admired it. The work looks really nice.

Love this truck. Had a chance to look it over a while back when it was at Autofab. I think Darren was mounting the engine accessories at the time. Engine compartment looked great, I remember it had some very nice looking headers. Keep posting pics!

As with everything on the truck, those headers ARE gorgeous... custome stainless steel... simply beautiful!

WOW, what a great rig! We need an old truck meet-up. This past weekend I was driving through Santee and saw the Autofab shop, too bad it was Sunday, would have loved to pop in and say hello.

I drove from Central Oregon to the Autofab shop once a few years ago.
It was good to put a face to the voice and emails going back geez decades?

Personally I like bringing a bit more "new" technology to the old body trucks, but can definitely appreciate the build on that one. Especially since he's pretty much "restoring it" to what it was and doing it to run the Norra race. Not what I'd want to do but nicely done for sure.
