This is a indexed list of the photos I’ve taken and placed on the site here. Each year listed has it’s own page, the list below shows what areas I took pictures of that year or projects I worked on, etc.. Then on each yearly marked page are the listed photos for each section, with a brief description of what areas of the truck the photos are of. Exterior, engine… or some sort of project I was working on, etc.. Go Explore.
Click on the year and the individual groups of photos have their own pages, with a brief description of each. Some of the projects, repairs have detailed information, including parts numbers and things… while others only have photos and a short explanation. It just depends on how irritated I was when I was doing the project.
Have fun and explore.
