I like them all, also but I like #26, 29 and 49 the best. I played around with #26 with Photoshop. I love the snow covered mountain (Which mountain is it?) so I tried to use the levels and keep the mountain while lightening the truck.

Nice job with the PhotoShop, Leonard. I really need to get into that.

The mountain is Mt. Baker. 10,800 feet. About a 50 minute drive from Bellingham. Skiing/snowboarding opened before Thanksgiving and will last into March (average annual snow fall is over 640" a year [

]). Mt. Baker is the tallest around here, but there many snow covered peaks right now. Like living in the Alps. [^]

Just talking in the last couple of months...the truck. S2D went into the garage after Omaha and has only been out for a few short cruises. I've been working on the truck some, so it NEEDS test drives

.

Overall, S2D gets far more miles. About 30,000 so far since I "finished" it. The truck drives...well...like a truck. It has a 305 Chevy in it, but stock everything else including the 6.66 rear end. Not exactly a freeway flyer

.

OTOH, S2D is probably going to get a 4.55 Dana 44 rear end with Dana's Trac Loc and flanged axles to replace the current 3.54 open rear end. I had so much fun at the Omaha drags...

...that I thought I just might make a couple obvious mods (maybe get those 60' times under 2.5 seconds [xx(]).

If I follow through with that, S2D won't be much fun on a long drive anymore. I just might have to hang on to my '60 wagon (259, three speed, OD, TT, hill holder) for a tour Stude [8D].

(BTW, that sig shot of your truck should definitely be on a cover. Very nice )

Yes, I'm sending Mr. Unger a few pics of the truck by the river. I think a lot of them turned out quite nice.

I agree. What a pain. [

BTW, I really like that one that lstude posted. Really nice...

Here's the top 10 vote getters for you, Paul.

Thanks Dick. I go in to information overload pretty easily, but ten I can handle. I like 9, 15 and 38. The barn shots are neat, but IMHO they clutter the pictures and detract from the truck. The same is true of the mountain and snow shots (I'm a KISS advocate).

This truck could use a little detraction [^]

Dick; I like 025, because Mt. Baker is not growing out the truck. It looks great with the truck lower like that in the frame! [^] Say! that's not across the street from my place is it? [:0]
