Well, here ya go, a couple pics of the trucks I'm currently running or wrenching on :lol:

Image
Heres the current daily driver. '93 W350 5spd 4.10gears. Bone stock except for the piston lift pump upgrade. Soon gonna upgrade the exhaust, intake, maybe the turbo, and take that stupid topper off 8)

Image
This was the daily driver up until a month ago, when I blew the trans in it plowing snow. '92 W250, A518 3.54 gears. Bone stock as well, except for a piston lift pump. Now its gonna be a doner for another project.

Image
This is the project truck. Stock '77 M887 with an anemic 318ci. Slow, stops horrible, and sucks gas like water, but with a portable welder, air compresser, and torches, handy as heck to have. Plus I use it in parades, veterns events and the such. This ones getting the drivetrain out of the blue truck.

I'll agree with both of you. i dont mind a cap, but it has to be cab height.

I don't mind the cap either, because it helps keep the bed snow free this time of year. But I hate not being able to see the whats in the huge blindspot when its covered in snow, frosted up, etc. I'm thinking of a nice headache rack with some back up lights and fold up tonouee (sp) cover.

We'll see, for now it stays, too lazy to take it off :lol:
