What is the truck used for? Bill said he bought it off a guy that hot shot hauled with it. Said the guy averaged 18k miles a month with it.

He said he never had the heads off, just the normal things, alt, bats, starters, injectors, GP ect. And his truck is stock all the way.

The body looks like he!!, but it keeps on going. He fixes flats on the road.
