WOW !!! Guys, I am TOTALLY floored,
I can't believe that you have chosen MY truck.
I just want to take a minute and tell you guys that I REALLY enjoy your site, in fact my Girlfriend gets a little worked up at night, well actually MOST nights, because after working a 10-12 hour day, I like to come home have a little dinner and jump on line to see what's new out there, sometimes you can loose a couple hours on here and forget all about her.
It's a great feeling, I have had SOOOO many helpful points from a lot of the members and in general, it just feels real good to know that if you have a question or something you cant figure out, there's someone to help.
Thanks....

My truck, well I looked for over a year to find exactly the right truck, it’s a 1992 Dodge W350 LE Extended cab Dually, This fully loaded, Cummins turbo diesel is hooked to a Automatic O/D trans, some of my upgrades include a banks power pack, HX-35 turbo, with a 16cm exhaust housing, POD injectors, banks exhaust, some pump mods, a tool box with built in 40 gallon fuel tank, keyless entry, full size custom rear bench seat, MP3 player, 2, 5th wheel hitch and it's sitting on 255/85R/16's......it has a little over 138,000 Original miles and as you can see has been very well taken care of, in fact I don’t believe it has EVER been on a dirt road........I have NOTHING left to do to this truck, except enjoy it.........thanks again for allowing me to share it with others........Canucktrucks... Shawn


Well there ya go folks, another beautiful addition to the Member's Photo gallery wins Truck Of the Month.
Get yer pics in there, you could be our next winner.

Congrats Shawn! If any 1st gen deserves to be the TOM, it's this one. Thanks to the TOM commitee for picking my favorite kind of 1st gen, a 2-tone dually!

They are so cool - - my buddy has one and will not part with it - - has something like 280,000 on it and still runs great. Pure stock, original paint, still looks very nice. He is talking about painting and doing some mild playing with it. Congrats.

Thumbs up NICE!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I agree with you guys,,,,,,,,,, as much as I like my 99,,,,,,, THAT 1st gen would've looked REAL GOOD towing our 5er. The color would be a perfect match!

Very nice looking truck Shawn.
