You can help me with the rest of the body work if you get withdrawals or something.

Hate to see yuh go, - things weren't working out with the truck, it became a head ache. Takes the fun right out of it don't it. Can't say you gave up easy, that's for sure, lots of effort and cool stuff done to your truck. It won truck of the month as well.

I get that way doing the body work, not sure why, but I don't enjoy doing that. I like welding in new panels/rockers/cab /corners. I just hate what comes next lol.
Took mine around the block earlier today, then jacked it up, put it on stands, locked in all 4 or 3 lol, then set the cruise for 45mph and left it alone for awhile. I should change that oil, the filter says 2009, so it's been awhile.

You'll be back, with another nice ride I expect. A lightning or something else cool.

Best of luck Blue

Sorry to hear your going through this Rich. Losing a vehicle after all the years, dollars, hours of wrench time and detailing, not to mention all the blood sweat and tears. Its rough but trucks are replaceable and custody of your child is not. I will be praying for you and your situation. Hate to hear you had to give ole Blue up. Hope you hang around buddy.

Sorry to see this truck sold...I followed Blue's transformation thread since day 1 and there to vote for it. Knowledge is power and I'm sure you'll know what to buy when the time comes for another truck. Hope to see the new owner give this site a try!
