Nice work, Mr. Pull it Broke.
I like the paint scheme. Do you guys fabricate that push bar yourself, or are you buying them from somewhere ?
Looks really heavy duty heavy.

I thought that federal employees of gubberment agencies that mess with everyone (just because they can) were the worst......
Oh, well, I guess that shows just how much I know....

Guys, I believe the owner of the truck is a First Responder.
Well, I guess they are a close tie.
At least when the government takes it ALL away, chances are you'll still get 3 squares and a friendly cellie.
Not so with a (crooked) bodyman, he'll dis-assemble your ride, swipe your parts and materials then try to hold your junk for storage, etc.
Been down that rough road a time or 2.
Another reason why if I can't do it, I either learn to, or drive it multi-colored.

I have a friend back in PA who took his Scout to a body man. The garage burned and melted siding on the house, and the truck was parked between the two, and is supposedly OK. It's the second body guy he's taken it to, but I think they might be delaying because they know how likely they are to get paid in a timely manner. He's got about a half dozen projects that he's barely started.

Around here we still use the old "smoke signal" method of communication.
A big, tall stack is easier to cover and uncover with a blanket from atop a horse.

Well made some more progress tonite.
We buttoned up the IC install, We then got the Bed caps, headache rack and stacks on, Then put the grille on I painted a few nights ago and put the bumper on. A couple days ago another buddy pin striped the hood and he will probly do the rest of the truck tomorow.
We still gotta paint the rear bumper and get it on then get the Dodge placard on the gate, And then Dan has to put on all his lights and wire them.
Couple pics.
Heres a couple of the bumper

Well it shouldn't get broke back there
And Thanks need to go to Mark for selling Dan some good parts for a good price and giving him a bunch of Nickel and Dime Knick Knacks.
