You know it is time to wash the truck when...

[1TrueSS]

The truck has been sitting for 3 weeks now, without a wash. I think I am going to wash it this weekend, because I have little creatures living on it now. I had a big spider, last week, make one of his webs from the cab to the bed, and now one of these. I think this one was just passing by, but still!

No you don't. Trust me, I don't love that. Thats creepy as fuck, cause if something in the wild does it ya never know about a person, maybe some of them have the same wild urges now and again.

PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

 

You are my HERO for putting a stick shift into one of GM's newer trucks. If this works out for you, a Silverado may be the next thing on my shopping list! graemlins/grin2.gif

Once he's got all of his parts accumulated, we'll be doing it in my garage. You should pass on the instructions and come over and get your hands dirty with us. We're in Gahanna over near Shawn, and most of the work will be done on weekends. Open invitation once work begins!

I will be keeping an update on the "Project T56" swap on my web page. Check it out time to time.

Nice conversion, I haven't heard of anyone doing that swap yet.

 

BTW the praying mantis is a SHE, only the females have wings. And your truck isn't really dirty, nothing has sprouted yet.

Praying mantis eating yor head?

 

That would be a way to die, but no thanks.

praying mantii are not threatened or protected, they sell them by the thousand to organic farmers for harmful insect control. really cool bugs though.
