I don't drink beer, it's just nasty. I do on occasion drink a rum and coke or 2 or 3 or 4 etc. Like today had 3 of them. Or else a few or more spicey bloody maries.

I drink the same amount as Dave / Grems - zero. I'm a real wuss, I don't even take Nyquil ( 25% alcohol ). I have an enlarged prostrate & alcohol just makes things even worse.

I used to drive at least 40 miles each way for work, and filled up my 93 at least 3 times a week. My Toyota on the other hand I would fill it once every week and a half.

Well the alternator off ol Blue failed the AutoZone tester, so I got a new one and it will go on tomorrow. I'm hoping that the end of those problems, but it been quite a chase.

I need to put the newer 96 seat in it, get the outer dvrs door handle changed out and .... get those damn blocks the PO put under the front end, and unstack the rear blocks.

I know it will lower it, but it will be safer to drive, some peoples stupid human tricks??

OK, Mr. Rockefeller, if YOU want to buy me twice the gasoline, I'll drive the truck.

I buy Budweiser bottles by the 20 pack at Wallymart, and generally get a month or so out of it, so I suppose that is less the one a day on average...

2) 4x4 shifter boot

4) Tranny shift ****

5) Gray seat "mine is the XLT Lariat"

6) Steel wheels 8 lug

7) Possibly long bed w/2 tank doors on drivers side

8) Front valance under grill and headlights

9) Possibly front bumper

10) **** for lower panel under steering column, Holds panel on that's
just in front of your knees.

I don't have to have all of these items.....just sort of a going to need soon list. The parking brake bolt is something I'm going to have to get very soon. Don't like not having the parking brake working correctly.

Thanks,
Brian
