Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)

Yeah I've had some offers from other board members to strait up loan me the money so I wouldn't have to sell it.. But I just don't feel good about that. I appreciate the kindness you guys have shown me!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)

Rus I'm sorry to hear that you have to sell Darcy, I have been there before and know how hard of a decision it is. But your doing it for the right reasons, hopefully something will come together in your favor so you can keep her but I'm sure you will have another one soon enough.

Thanks Keith! I have some ideas for the next one if in-fact I have to let Darcy go.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)

I have to admit, for a 45 yr old that has done trucks for over 25 yrs, (that have for the most part been stockers), I have been bitten by the PB bug..

It looks AWESOME!!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)

I have a fella interested in just the ls3 swap, if I sell that it would prob allow me to keep the rest and I can buy another swap later.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)

That is better than selling everything and would be less of a regret in the long run. Darcy looks killer on the ground! I thought your previous pics was as low as it could go- pleasantly surprised.

Are you planning on running the longhorn bed if you keep the truck or are you going to use a flat?
