Months would go by and nothing would get done because I was always trying to make it come out perfect, and knowing how rare and special these trucks are made it that much harder. I sure had high hopes for my duallie and will be posting it up for sale. Maybe someone can finish what I started. I sure enjoyed the time I spent with you guys and I considered you all friends......................Flat67
And I was given good advice such as this...

Once it's in your blood, you can't get rid of it..... and if you think not finishing your truck will drive ya crazy, wait till you don't have it.

.....And I went ahead and got rid of it anyway. It wasn't long before I started to miss it. What had I done! So you guessed it, the search began for another one. So one day about a year ago I came across this. The price was fair so I bought it.......I know you guys like pics,more coming up as the story continues......
