First Wax Job

Hello, I just semi-retired my 98 K1500; I squeezed 315K miles out her, and decided it was time to upgrade-big time (the body style of the 1998 F150s didn't appeal to me).

I just bought a black 2018 F250 4X4 STX crew-cab short bed, with the 6.2L. Uploading pics is a real SOB with 4G internet; will do so asap.

I'm a retired Cold War army platoon sergeant; I settled down in the NW Oregon Coast Range. We live on and manage our small Woodlot.

I'm relieved to find this forum; lots of questions already answered.

Glad to be here.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service! I'm still active after 26 years. Will retire next year. Did you have a question about the 1st wax job?
