    Hey All:

    A few people who kindly replied to my very first post on TW requested pics of my truck.

    Here ya go. Its not much compared to what a lot of you guys run,
    but I've had it for 14 years, 225k and going strong. (01).

    Thanks for looking.

    Regards,

    Tom

    For now, Bilsteins and fresh leaf springs. For now, just dropped a big chunk of change on the truck.

    You have a 5-speed, think I'm a little jealous.

    Pittsburgh... Spent a a month there a few years ago. Found it a really cool, friendly town.

    Pittsburgh is a great place to live. The people are mostly very genuine. Also, I love me a manual!

    Forgot to add that my 6 year-old is pushing for additional mods: a 35,000 HP motor. ...... And a gatling gun. .... In a turret.
