Thanks guys,

I know it aint as clean as most of the others on here,, but i was in the market for A truck of some sort (almost a necessity to have around the house)... and I'm extremely partial to CHEVYs. Well I've been after this one for a little over 2 yrs now, but the ole guy wouldnt sell it. I had almost given up on it, and was Seriously about to get whatever i could find on a deal when late last week I happened to ride by the fella's house and saw him under the hood (checking oil). I stopped in to say hello, and he asked if i was still interested and if so, he was ready to sell it to me. He made me an offer (which was ironically going to be my "low-ball" offer), so i didnt even counter -- just said ok lets hop in the truck and run to the bank. The rest is history. LOL

Sorry... i get long winded sometimes.

Well, update to the Flats this morning: Got the FLAT SPARE down from underneath, and had em slap a new generic tire on there (with intentions of making that the 'new spare'. That got me back rollin, so i rode back to the tire fella's and got me 2 new "Cooper Cobra G/T"s on the back. Upgraded to 255/70s in place of the 235/75s.

He only had 2 in stock

so until next week, i'll be ridin around

with white-letter 255/70s on the back,, and 235/45s plains on the front.

Oh well, All in a day's work.

Thanks for readin.
