I AM GETTING MY TRUCK TOMORROW! Got the money in my pocket and going to get it in the morning. I am just stoked, figured I'd let ya'll know. Hopefully I can drive it home with no problems (about 150 miles or so from here.)

Bet you had a hard time sleeping last night. Let us know how the drive went and how about some pics of the truck.

Congrats..krue

Now you have to give your new a truck a name because she/he is now a family member.
Regards,

Just got up, well the boys (ages 6 and 3) got me up. Your right I cannot believe, but I actually felt like a kid on Christmas Eve! Leaving in a couple of hours to go get it.

I will post some pics tonight hopefully.

Shouldn't give it a name until you make sure it's a keeper.........

I've had four in the past year that I thought were keepers, but down the road they went...........

Kind of like living on a farm.......Don't name the animals, one day they may be dinner. Now you have an issue.......

SUCCESS!!

Nice truck!

Am I reading the picture wrong? Is it missing the front tire? If so I think you've got the record for fastest immobilizing!

What are your plans for the bed? Replacing the work box or keeping it?

I have the original fenders, they were removed the day it was originally bought and stored. Under the dust they are mint!
