Ka'Bluey
Hey everybody, just wanted to share a couple of pictures of mt boy "Ka'Bluey". I sold him 3 years ago in Southern Missouri to help pay for the move to North Carolina.
Within the first year to year and a half he was sold 3 more times, with a couple of these people running him ragged.
The third owner's are friends from back home, and FTE members. They did some repairs that were needed, and let me know they had him and would only sell him back to me.
So we made payment arrangements, and I'm proud to say that after selling him three years ago, and 1000 miles away, he's paid for and in my driveway.
Here's a couple of pictures from the night we got him off of the transport carrier.

I am really glad you got your trusty rig back!! I couldn't bear to sell mine, too much emotion and work invested, for it only to go to the same kind of abusive owner that I rescued it from.

The floor boards were rusted beyond what a patch panel would even come close to fixing.
Here's a few pictures from our FTE Cab Swap.

Your right about emotions, it's crazy how we can get attached to a machine. I owned this same truck for six years and did a lot of work it him. We even had a FTE Cab Swap weekend about 5 years ago.

And here is Ol Ka'Bluey from back in the day. I know where you got that red cab and front clip from...
I remember that day you got the front bumper and OEM push bar for 50 bucks at the swap meet.

Would you by any chance still have that nice after market front grill that I gave back to you after selling Ka'Bluey? I'd be interested in buying it
