Yup kinda... it has a Reese Titan Class V hitch bolted to the frame... I plan to do the B&W turnover ball hitch later after the bed and cabs gotten fixed.. just havent had the time or $$ to do either yet.. Nice thing with their hitch is it can double as both a goose neck and 5 wheel pin hitch..

Yep there's been a few threads started this summer.

What need to be fixed on the Cab and the Bed, Shawn? Rust or just dents?

Marty I was thinking about you a couple of evenings ago when I found myself fishing with a friend that I hadn't in almost 5 years. You'd like this place, and it's only a 12 minute drive from our house.
This my neighbor from Ozark, Chris.

Y'all behave

A few more pics like that and I'm moving to Missouri. I'm glad to see that you're getting settled in and having a good time.

Be Good!

someone in the trucks past apparently had a runaway load in the bed that pinned the front bed panel against the cab.. Then they "Pried" the panel sorta back into the place while prying against the back of the cab.. in the process they not only dented up the cab but busted the seam weld there.. so now if it rains just right it gets into the back of the cab soaking the carpet and anything else back there..

I have the new bed panel and cab panel.. just havent had the $$ to get it done..

found the old pic..

So back in October our washer quit so I Picked up a Kenmore set for $100. Wife has been mentioning lately that she would like to have a new set. Tonight I let her convince me to ride to lowes and "Look"...


$1460 later I go pick them up tomorrow afternoon. That's with a 3 year replacement warranty, and a 10% military discount since I got my grandma to swing by for a few minutes.

happy wife happy life I reckon... lol
