What followed me home yesterday

550 miles of bucking the wind and an ill mannered trailer. Glad to be home.

Beautiful real truck. What are your plans, if we may ask?

Jeez! The things that follow us home. Nothing ever follows me home. May have something to do with my better half never leaving me by myself when I am out...
Good looking truck!

Congratulations! Your truck is a thing of beauty. I can appreciate your road trip. That's a long way to go in an uncomfortable drive. Has the feeling returned to your white knuckles yet.

Very nice! MT license plate? Seems to be a lot of clean trucks leaving the state lately......
Hauling those big ones can sure be interesting. I hauled an F6 30 miles tail heavy on a trailer....pure hell....

Wow that is a beauty. Since no one has asked yet, could you show us some more pictures when you have unpuckered from the drive.
Hearing your plans would be great too.

F5, came from up north of Great Falls. I was just hauling it for a friend and delivered it today so only one other picture. It is a really solid truck and runs great. If it was mine, I'd put F1 axles under it and cut it down to a pickup.

It didn't leave the state far, we can be in Montana in 20 minutes from here, and we have to cross Wyoming to do it!!

That is a nice looking truck. I hope it stays stock, you almost never see a stock cab over.
