right now the truck is setting with no intercooler or front crossmember in it......dad had my brother pull it out (i.e. beat rivets out with chisel and hammer) and take it down to the race shop and have it welded all up cause it had a couple small cracks, the front strut rod mounts at one point have been worked on also from the bushing going bad, im putting all new bolts in it and lock tighting them and having a weld bead ran on all of them so they WILL NOT come loose, i told him once that is done to check the plate on the steering box, if thats broke ill replace the plate now but the frame is getting plated and gusseted when i get home from iraq in June.....so yeah....this sucks but i knew going into it that this truck may have problems.....
THEY PUT THEM ON A PLANE TO SOME STRANGE AND FOREIGN LAND, THEY SAID GOODBYE TO MOM AND DAD AND HELLO TO UNCLE SAM, THEY NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WOULD COME WHEN THEY MIGHT HAVE TO KILL A MAN, THEY DID NOT SLEEP A WINK THAT NIGHT BUT THEY WON FOR UNCLE SAM
