I say good call on that Byron, I in the other hand would of sold it, theres a variety to choose from in my area for cheap, imagine I pay 4-5 for another cclb maybe 4x4 and modify it/restore with the remain $$$$, I would still have enough to buy another and restore it or modify to my liking, ofcourse in my area everything gets done cheap so im lucky

Well guys, I got offered $13,500 for my truck yesterday. They guy is in the military here so I know he has the money. He just got back from deployment and those guys always have the cash sitting in the bank from being out of the country. I said it's not for sale and then he offered $15K!!! 
Here is my thinking....even with that nice chunk of change in the bank, I could go buy another OBS and find a CCSB, but then I am looking at doing everything all over again and I just don't have the time or desire right now to do all of the stuff it takes to get these trucks running like mine runs. I KNOW what I have with mine. With another "really great" OBS, it's still a gamble. So, chastise me if ya like, but I said NO and I am glad I did. It was tempting for 5 minutes, but that's about it. He told me it was exactly what he was looking for to tow his new toyhauler. Yeah buddy, me too...
RUBY Stays!! Happy Friday everyone!

Crazy thing is that people are paying close to what's asked, too. Someone took a guess at what I paid for mine, and threw it out there at $14k...not even close....lol.

Nice choice! I woulda done the same! Actually I sure do wish I had a Crew Cab again. I got sick of hauling people and all of their chit around...now I don't have enough room for my wife dogs, and all of our chit on trips in a single cab... I am ok with not wanting to start over and build one all over again, I know there are many things I would have done differently.
