Can't wait for the update! Flew to Houston with Wifey and bought my '09 GMC off of member N2TRUX. Had a great time-I've never had people pass me while running 95 MPH in traffic before! Yee-ha Texas!

we stopped at the hackberry general store and got lots of photos, questions and props on the '68, now called 'gentle ben' in honor of my dad, who's riding along I'm sure.
