Here she is... http://558signal.home.insightbb.com
You all know Jeff by now (1956MarkII). Well, here he is...

He's on the right. Yes, my eyes are closed and I look stupid
I drove 7 hours one way to buy this from Jeff. I recommend you buy from Van Bortel if at all possible. The truck is flawless and arrived as expected. Not one problem or glitch wahtsoever in my 528 mile trip home! It's awesome! I love it.

Oh, great........
Up till now, I had everyone here convinced I looked like Mel Gibson!
Thanks, Jon. Glad the trip went well. I know you've worked hard to earn a nice truck, so enjoy it!!

I'm loving this more and more every day. I've only had it a few days, but I still can't find anything I don't like about it. I love that V8 exhaust note. If you ask me, there's no need to upgrade the exhaust unless you want a more free flowing exhaust. I love the sound of the stock exhaust. It's got a nice rumble and then a slight roar as you put the petal down. Sounds great!
I'm still loving the smooth ride and quiet interior. I'm just not used to this! My other 2 CARS are much louder than this truck.
The reverse sensing system is a great feature. I'm glad I got it. It works well
Still not one problem to report. Only about 750 miles so far, but those have all been excellent miles. No vibrations, rattles, shakes, rear end jumping on tight turns (limited slip rear end), no limp home mode, nothing at all. (I'm hoping it stays that way!)
When it's clean, this black paint shines like a new dime in a goat's rear end! A guy I used to work with cleaning cars as a teenager used to say that. A guy in the church parking lot today just about stared a hole in it...lol I guess he liked it
