MARCH 2024 ~ FEATURED TRUCK/MEDIA SECTION

[Wifey]

My pick for March 2024 Featured Truck, (chosen from the Media Section and from reading through threads and posts) goes to member tinygiants!

This is an incredible journey that was made possible for Dale (tinygiants) through the help of the VTCOA and RAM FROM HELL who headed up this project.

Dale went through a battle with cancer starting back in 2009 and fought like a true warrior - and BEAT THE UGLY BEAST!!! During the journey the Truck was going to be lost to the bank and was in need of much repair. The VTCOA stepped up as the incredible forum family it's known for and Eric (RAM FROM HELL) led the way in getting the truck repaired and readied in time for Dale to bring her to his cancer free celebration party.

I'll post a link to a thread that follows the VTCOA family and Eric through the journey and I'll post some pics of the Truck I was able to find.

As far as I know Dale is doing well and Made a few posts on the forum in 2023. Congrats!!

The mods were done by Dale before he fell ill and the pics That follow show that work. Here is what Dale posted about his modifications

There is a thread by Dale that goes though his diagnosis, treatments and cancer free party. I didn't post that because I can't find it right now, but the search feature will get you there if you want to follow his personal quest.

i saw a few posts from Dale in 2023 and somewhere along the line he did have to sell the truck -

What a journey!

I remember and the thread . The truck and possibly the first and only one Tubed and a 4 link were added .. the work was fantastic. I’ve installed Tubs in the past on several of my dusters but never with results like that .

Many of the members on the VTCOA were awesome and helped others all the time back in the day one way or another ! Glad to hear Dale posted on here in 2023 and beat the beast !
