Yeah,ok James..I'm jealous. Nice truck and what I'd rather have than any of my other trucks...except I have to always have at least one older GM K/20 work horse. What's under the hood? You don't like the mirrors??? But,they give it such a contemporary and updated look. I thought it was a 2065 until I read your signature. How does big brother Jimmy feel about is new companion?

Now that's a good answer - and when are you going to announce your candidacy for President?

Just kiddin ya - man-o-man, that is a really cool truck, whatEVER it cost, I think you (ahh, I mean your wife) has a real winner there. Love it. I don't know why "patina" had gotten so popular - can't explain it - folks used to pay thousands to make em look new - now some folks pay thousands to make em look old. You are very fortunate to have found one just like that - I really, really like it - and somehow, this whole patina thing is growing on me.... They really are hard to find on the more popular models like yours.

Congrats - sweet truck.

Nice ride, especially being a short box and the now ride height is just right. Tell us more on the powertrain, one lucky wife for sure.
