That is a beauty. They are few and far between around this area as most of them got beat to death in the hills in the 80's and 90's

Such an awesome truck.

**GMCNUT** · 02-04-2019, 03:07 PM

This truck of Pete's has my heart with my own Blue Highlander being so near identical - if I can make mine look even half as amazing as this one over the next couple years I will be doing backflips

Congrats Pete!
