That's my plan, a good looking truck that can be used everyday, any day. No, I'm not an engineer, but I do have an ear for engines (diesels mostly) I'm a machinist by trade. No, never driven a big rig, but might want to try one day. In case your wife is reading, I have spent next to nothing on labor, just a little for sand blasting, powder coating, and a few small welding jobs I was not comfortable with.....
Thanks all for the comments and support, makes the slow days not so bad, and the fun ones even better
