Wish I had about a dozen votes, not an easy pick.
In the end though, I have only one and I vote for Phil Holmen,
I have always liked the ext cab short box style, and Phil's truck seems very well appointed with performance and appearance mods, and to my eye sits nice with the lift.

You guys are voting on stock trucks and trucks with only bigger tires? I thought this was a real contest?

Well after my truck i gotta vote for S/W Off Roads truck, its amazing how you can take an older truck and make it look so good. Nice work S/W you got a real beauty

16G SXS - thanks, me and the boys appreciate it (they tell me the box is quite comfy with enough straw). And BTW If you did hold anything against brits, me and the boys would do our best to make a believer out of you, you can see us in action the last week of Jan in north east Nebraska matching wits with the old roosters if you wish.
Also what Petrella said... his truck is a beaut, near the top of the list of my dozen or so runner ups... and what he said about S/W off roads, I don't even dream that big, that's one incredible looking truck!!!

Thanx a lot chicken hunter, you have an awesome clean looking truck also. Its a 1994 thing, we love our 94's!!!!!
S/W offroad truck is sweet. You can tell he has spent dollars and hrs working on it to get it to its current condition. Nice mods too. BUT....

Well, If I wasn't going to New Mexico & Arizona to hunt quail I would show ya how a couple of Ugly Wire Haired Pointers do it. There are some great Brits out there I just like my Ugly dogs.
Thanks Anthony! I bought this truck to replace my 94 extended cab gasser that I looked into converting to diesel, too much to replace so I bought this truck with the money I got from selling the gasser. It took about a year to get it to this point and the only time any of the labor was farmed out was for the alignment. IOriginally posted by Petrella:

Wish you guys could take a ride in it as it rides the best of any truck I ever owned.

my vote: S/W off-road
