Ol' Red on Parade!

Hey Guys,

Just thought Id share a few pics with ya'll. This weekend was the wifes 10yr High School Reunion and Homecoming Game. They had a parade for the game. The theme was Stomp the Gators. I came up with the idea of having an airboat for the float. It was decided that everyone would dress in camo and go "gator hunting". I borrowed the air boat from a friend and by special request I was asked to pull the float with my '90.

The old girl was a hit, kinda like the belle of the ball. Everyone loved the her and the float. Even got plenty of admiration from the Ford and Chebby guys too. Plenty of nice trucks in the parade, from all of the Big Three, but I had the only 1st gen there.

Here we are decorating during lineup...

LOL....looks great man. Course it's only natural for an airboat to be a parade hit in Kaplan. Man I love this state (usually).

Actually the wife went to Vermilion Catholic in Abbeville. If it would have been my reunion in Kaplan there probably would have been SEVERAL airboats...

Amen to that! Looks like there's at least 3 of us from down here in the south. Wonder how many more we have around here. Maybe we can get a little meet-and-greet.

Nice truck Blake, the stacks look good too... everything looks good on it.

You ever consider putting a 2" lift on it? Not 4" just a slight lift like 1 1/2 - 2".

Thanks for posting.
