You know I wouldn't want to sell for the money but that is a nice picture.

Sell the '10 F250, that V10 must suck gas like no tomorrow. Double benefit.

Grasshopper, If you can grab these cotter pin's from my hand, you may sell your truck. Until then NO! You'll be hard pressed to replace it later.

What kind of business do you have? Maybe you could use your '49 to advertise.

There's tons (literally) of surplus fiber optic tooling around Dallas' "Telecom Corridor" left over from the glory days.
Great to hear that the business is doing well. If you hire a tech that has his own tools you can be pretty sure that he both knows what he's doing and cares about the quality of his work. That's why I have my own (top end quality) tools. I want my work to be done right the first time. Good luck!
