Cool, does the truck go with a paint job? Wonder if you could wheel it at Rausch Creek? LOL

Goes down the road as you see it in the last set of pics.

Wheel it? Sure, you go first.

Zackly.

All of today will be 'packaging' everything up and having it ready to go @ 5:00am tomorrow morning for go time.

Here's a tip for others selling a project like this or maybe just hind sight on my part.

I "should have" assembled this truck to at least the point of where it is now for shipping, I've had to spend HOURS getting this truck ready to ship out.
Had I "done that" prior to posting it up for sale it could have, most likely would have sold it easier, being it looks a lot more like a complete truck.

Moral of the story for me...quit giving your labor away for free dummy!

Do you have a co-pilot or are you going it alone? That's a lot of drivin' for one day. I did the same thing (6hrs. each way) when I picked up my tub.
