I like the one's that have been rode hard and show it, rather than all show and too scared to ride it.

Nice truck!!!!

Thanks grinner!!! I love this truck and wanted it since I was a kid. I'm glad I got it from him before someone else.

Nice old truck!! If it's not too rotted out or anything, (and it looks good in the pics) I wouldn't worry about doing too much to it cosmetically. Just take care of the oily bits and keep her on the road!


Congrats!
