The truck will be out at its first show in New Hartford CT. Sunday morning.

Yea they were pretty huge from what I’ve seen. The doors have really cool cast iron catches to hold them open that work well. They must have kept those brakes adjusted up tight hahaha. Mine are ok but probably not enough to slam the doors shut. My doors are a little stiff sliding also. So in...
