That might have been him, I can't recall much now other than a fine collection of GMT400s

Oh my. It has been a long time then. I'm curious to see what it looks like now too. You had, at one time, about a 58 Chevy truck with 6.2 turbo or something like that. Dually? Long gone I guess?

Yep, it was a '58 Apache longbed that had been swapped onto a '94 dually frame, with the 6.5td/NV4500. The frame had a major static drop. The guy that built it did a pretty good job of the swap and also made a dually bed out of the stepside bed by replacing the bed header panel and tailgate with fleetside parts, made it the perfect width. The wheelbase difference required he move the fenders a little bit.
I un-did a few minor things I didn't care for, scored the V8 hood emblem (rare) and Viking 60 emblems for the fenders, replaced the front tires as they were just some P-rated bean bags, drove it for a while and collected the parts to convert the electronic-controlled injection pump setup to the '93 mechanical setup - injection pump, injector hard lines, Turbomaster waste gate control, engine harness, regular accelerator pedal setup, all that junk.. then sold the thing because I was working 6 nights a week and had no spare time to mess with it.
How it looked when I sold it:

Spotted later in a post about the Texas Heatwave show, looks like the new owner painted the wheels green, added GMT400 trim rings and later model center caps, put a floor in the bed, and replaced the GMT400 cab markers with some ugly "vintage" chrome things.

The camera was set up in the garage.. 2:35 time stamp beginning for best turbo spool, weather cap clanking, and back tire squeal against the fenders sound effects

They didn't then, and they surely don't now. Been here 12 years and I guarantee they aren't used to me and never will be.

Sounds like our neighbors, after Dad had the shop building built. You think you know how petty your neighborhood can be, till you do something like that, and then you find out it's way worse than you thought.
But it was perfectly okay for the jerk across the street, to have a homemade gantry frame and a chain hoist in the driveway, and be doing cab swaps on trucks in front of God and everybody, or another jerk across the street, to be welding and grinding on metal in the wee hours of the night....

We outlasted the ones that were issues then. The last of the oldest families moved out last year, and the 'hood is all rent property so it's sort of a moot point anymore. We sold our house in '22 to one of those companies that buys and refurbs old houses, didn't get enough for it.Bet you outlast your close neighbors.
