Here is a pic next to an old gas station:

I did have two casualties: 1st was my starter, it went out in El Paso. Luckily, it crapped out in the motel parking lot. Thanks to airbags, it made it easier getting under the truck.

Second, I trashed my center axle bearing and U-Joint. They started vibrating the drivetrain about 300 miles from my destination, so that is next on my "fix it" list.

Thanks for the kind words! That is what is great about this forum.
