The whole dang truck was near perfect too : Grandpa's old long bed rig with a camper, donated as soon as he was in the ground I bet .

So many nice cars in Junk Yards here directly from those rip off charity donation places .

Maybe I'll find another one some day .
Simple, but thanks. I was thinking about selling it, because I bought an in-bed carrier. An under-bed carrier is pain in the *&^ to change a tire. Down is dirty, up has to be a strain, and thankfully I'll never do it. I think I'll paint it with the new carrier, slap it back on just to have it........... So yeah, I do know what you mean.

Incidentally, I realized I have to drop the aux. tank to install said in-bed carrier to factory......Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa!. Maybe not HAVE to, but close for sure. The tank is worthless anyway.
