Welcome to the board. That is a great looking truck. And yes, we Americans make some nice trucks and we used to make some nice cars too. I hope we will again some day.

Welcome from Washington state. Don't worry about posting in the wrong forum. I will be happy to move this over to the pickup forum.
Very nice looking pickup I like the color combo.

petey-pablo · 01-20-2009, 03:11 AM

From Fremont ca,That is one great looking truck.........

Andy4639 · 01-20-2009, 09:01 AM

Nice truck. That A/C should make it nice for summer cursing. I'm curious as to why the A/C is on the drivers side though and the alternator is on the passenger side. Most of the time they are oppisite of this. The wiring comes out of the cab from the drivers side and A/C hoses go through on passenger side.
Nice though just the same!

AC appears to be aftermarket. Truck probaly had passenger side alternator to begin with. BTW nice truck and welcome to the board.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 01-20-2009, 09:31 AM

But be careful over there mate, one good "roo" hit or a crock in the road could cost you dear.

I'm sure a lot us have heard that from our wives at some time or another.

Welcome, from Texas amigo.

70cstjr · 01-20-2009, 10:34 AM

beatiful truck, and man i would hate to know the shipping cost on that beautiful ride

*OBTG62* · 01-20-2009, 11:10 AM

I hate to mention it, but will you have to change the steering to the other side? Or have the laws changed. I spent a year and a half there, a year of the time in Busselton, WA. working at the Busselton Beach Resort, I am sure you are familiar. It was strange to see Corvettes with right side steering.

**special-K** · 01-20-2009, 02:41 PM

NICE ONE!!!

Welcome from UpOver!!! Did ya drive it there?

I agree,the US used to know how to build a great truck

.Sorry mate,me arse took hold of me mouth.If I came over with my truck,would I be as welcome as my truck?I doubt it.The truck only speaks when you touch the go pedal.

**Yukon Jack** · 01-20-2009, 04:08 PM
