New Truck Day!

Ah, and no scuzzy stone guards in front of the rear wheel wells.... How did I forgot about those?

Thanks! I've only found a couple small areas of rust on the truck. Were talking smaller then a penny, but rust none the less. Just tossed on some new tires up front and did an oil change. Found out it has a nice 1904 Edelbrock 4 barrel on it as well.

That thing looks pretty good actually. Still the original paint?

i like how u think

The wife and I looked at new trucks as well. Between the high payments and the lack of stability of the big 3 we decided this was the better route.

A little Line-X in the bed will make all the difference.
