Thanks a lot! I was just blessed to have my wifes support through the whole project. Not many guys get away with 'hun, I'm gonna buy a 1987 truck, and tear the whole thing apart, swap the engine yada yada and its gonna be out 'new' replacement truck'....say whaaa!

But really, I've had my 00 cummins for about 5 years now and its been a great truck, but with 2 growing kids, hauling us and all our crap in an ext cab short bed just doesn't fit comfortably. Plus I'm trying to become debt free, not in debt more and certainly not for a vehicle. After selling my 00 I will only have a couple grand more into this chevy than my proceeds from that sale. Plus like you said, the cool factor went way up!

Oh and I pulled the cap off to haul in a new couch the otherday, I will update with some cap-less pics tomorrow.
