Re: My First truck, My First post
Awesome truck! I like it. Great buy. AND most of all, Welcome to the forum! Let us know how / IF we can help you. Any questions, info .. etc. This is the place to post it. I have learned so much from this site.
I wish we had more of those type trucks around this area. (SWB, CST, etc.) Most are rusted away ..
