    Jesus that's a clean truck. Low mileage too. What are your plans for it?

    Thanks Thurman! It's a Florida truck and yes it is as clean as it looks!
    I found it near me here in Virginia. Condition is pretty amazing - I feel like I hit the lottery! lol
    Right now going to daily drive it locally for a couple of months (as it's been setting for about a year) and contemplate some more serious mod plans over the winter. Not planning to re-sale anytime soon. Meanwhile, just picked up a used Reese hitch and a bed extender. Also scored a used LEER top in great shape but it's going to need to be painted.
