he did pick up a Silver Star with V during WW2
This one was brought back by my late father-in-law. I have not set eyes on it. It has been locked in a closet for years.

Honestly... It's just me and my 2 kids. This truck is all about WANT and has absolutely NOTHING to do with NEEDS.

My former truck was MORE then enough to fulfill my NEEDS and most of my wants as well. Was a BEAUTIFUL 05 F150 CC Lariat 4x4 with every bell and whistle available in the 05 model. Only thing it didn't have that I wanted was DVD/NAV. Had that truck leveled on the tires that are currently on my SD. Dark tinted windows and chrome tool box. But, when I saw this beast. It's basically my "Dream" truck. So, I bought it.

I've been planning on having a truck like my '06 for quite a while, and like you, this is also my dream truck. I did get it to pull my boat (which I'm selling) and a car trailer. It's great for vacations, with all the room it has. I still have my '97, I drive it to work mostly. If I can keep it running a couple more years (it currently has 196,000 miles on it) I'll give it to my stepson when he turns 16.

That's a good plan...

I intend my kids to both inherit crappy 6 cyl convertable mustangs. One pink, one blue. Oddly enough.. both my kids are girls. One just likes pink. The other loves Blue. I got no problem with that. She's definitely a girlie girl. Just with a different color choice. LOL!!!
