Meet my New Truck
I found this truck ( check attachment ) on CraigsList 900 miles from home in South Dakota. With help of some board members (Thanks SSTIM) and Shawn (71SWB4x4 ) going above and beyond, Thank You again Shawn, by taking the truck to your trusted shop and getting an oil change etc. done on the truck, and good thing because they found a nail in one of the tires. Me and a friend drove 900 miles on Friday and after 6 hours sleep picked up the truck yesterday morning and drove 900 miles back home. The truck has exceeded my expectations and ran strong and like a top at 70 and sometimes closer to 80 mph all the way home. The truck is very clean and tight and the only bad thing is I have her tucked away in my garage because its November 2nd and up here in the Great White North our nasty cold Winter is starting and I won't be able to use the truck until mid April.

Re: Meet my New Truck
Nice looking truck!!! Real lucky on the tire issue. Glad you had a safe trip and you made it. Order some catalogs for the winter and start making a list. You'll come up with lots of Christmas ideas! 😉
