I was driving through the center of a town close by. There are lots of outer staters up on vacation. I stopped for people to use the cross walk. A guy was looking real hard at the truck as he walked in front. He turned and walked down the center line and stopped at my window. He was like " WOW I love your truck" That was pretty cool. I had traffic backed up so I couldn't talk to him but he did say he had a 92. Its funny as hell when you drive a old truck like this and you get head turners, waves, and cheers. Makes all the work worth it,,, almost.

Congrats on your progect. I got my dads 93 1/2 ton 2wd when he died and now its doing the Fred Flintstone thing with the floors also. Where did you get the floors and rocker panels? Its easy to see Chrys screwed up when they changed the body style in 94 as we get the rubber neck treatment as we drive around town here in Farm Country WI. plus how can you have a Power Wagon with coil springs in front, what a weak system. When my son and I cruise around we turn into bobble heads cause these springs are just plain ballsy.

There is definitely a huge respect had for these trucks, other than these online forums. Even in big cities with lamborghinis, bmws and mercedes driving around I still get stopped every so often by someone telling me how much they love my truck! Even before the paint job as well.
Lol, most keep there distance though!

My truck has rust, missing paint, dents and dings. You'd think folks with their Merc's/Beemers/Volvo's/Lambo's etc etc would keep their distance. 
People try to push me out of the way all the time. Some don't even see me, in a 6200lb chunk of steel! Driving here in S.Fl. has got to be some of the worst in the country. Anyone would think running red lights was the national sport! 
And the only two comments I get are; Can't you go any faster? Yes, I can, but I need a speeding ticket like I need another hole in the head. And; Get out of my way!
Sorry for the
, guess I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. 
Your truck is still looking sweet Ritchie-O, very nice!
