The next pretty day I will take some pictures. Then when my son comes home from college I'll get him to post them!! I'm puter illiterate.
(ps) I did forget to mention, it didn't hurt my feelings when he wanted the 95 GMC!!

I thought about selling my 85 for a late model chevy, but I love my truck too much I think. I drive mine daily and having a late model would be nicer to drive everyday while still maintaining the ability to haul stuff.
