Having the truck in storage would suck, I thought about taking mine to storage this year but decided to install a SC over the winter. I think we all have the itch to get em on the road. I just need to get the batery mounted in the bed and the rest of the snow to melt and I'm good to go. :woot:

Never soon enough! :) Engine should be done this week or next week. Then I'll drop it in the truck, and take it to get custom headers/exhaust made, then she goes down to NC to get tuned. I'll post up pics as soon as I get my hands on the engine and then I'll vids up when it's running :biggthumpup:

I haven't even seen my truck since I put it in storage last fall. I just can't wait to see what awaits me. Mice nests, puddles of leaking everything, who knows if vandals broke in and trashed it stole the stereo. Who knows if it will even start, or run.

And getting it out will be fun? Or scary?

i was lucky enough to get a all medal storage unit that was air tight so no rodents in mine :). was shocked it started right up with no hesitation.had a little bit of oil on the mat but nothing major, will have to find where that came from. cant wait till its warm enough to wash and wax it. it was fun to be able to drive it again.
