Grigg is from the east he's on the 4BT swaps forum in the Detriot section. Grigg and Buck are totally different guys on different coasts.
Thanks,

Grigg has some pretty cool projects also. He did a front axle swap on a 48' that i was wanting to do. he chopped a mid 80's 1.5 ton 2wd front axle and narrowed it so it would work under the 48. i think he did that so he could go to power steering iirc.

old trucks are fun, once you get that old grease/ gas/ diesel under your skin your set for life!
 
some pictures i took today of what bucks done with this thing..

yep buck builds some pretty cool stuff.. hes going to stain the bed and finish the interior still but this thing is pretty impressive to see cruising down the road..
 
That thing is cool, I like the flat black old paint style. It would cost thousands to copy the aged look it has.
 
i can say he has worked hard at it since i first put it on.. the little stuff like the mirrors and light to the bigger stuff like the pete visor he has like 16 hours into..
some ear candy..

Adam, you ever post the vid where the 4-53T runs away? Pretty crazy and cool. Fast reaction from Buck!

You can never have enough 2-stroke Detroit sound!

It is on YouTube, would you mind if I post it? One of the better examples of a Detroit running away I've seen (sounds cool too).

LOL. That's why I asked. I didn't want to post it and have it look like I was making fun of him or something. Just sounds cool and he shut it down damn quick!!

we all wish it wasnt a piece of rubber but something like a piece of wood so it didnt mess up that compressure wheel.. but all is well..
 
That truck is so damn cool! What vision to plan that out! The flat black withe the patina door & side engine cover is amazing. Pete visor really sets it off!

Just super cool truck that's liable to win a ton of trophies if he shows it any!
