These things are addicting! ...bought another one.

I picked another one on Sunday. Not a bad little truck. It's a 75'

I will get pics up once I get my Internet connection working again. Or if I can figure how to upload pics from an I device.

I was impressed that your wife was driving yours at times this week-end.

So, will this new one be more hers than yours ?

Don't keep us in suspense too long.

Looks like a super clean truck. Nice rims, tires, lift, and paint looks really nice. I love the front and rear Protofab bumpers

Yes it was the neighbors... he is a little upset about his wife making him sell it. I told him he can drive it and come with us when some issues are worked out.

Dont be fooled. There is some rust that needs to be fixed; cowl, hinge posts, rockers, tailgate is trash, the hinges on the rear bumper are rusted shut, ect, ect. I am planning on turning it into a nice street/trail truck. Nothing like my orange one. Just 33's, new springs (ditch the rancho stuff), fix a couple mechanical issues, and make it reliable...then a nice single stage paint job. I was thinking pewter on the body and silver top and flairs, with black bumpers and accents.
