Nice find. There is nothing like having more truck than you need, than needing more truck than you have. It should serve you well. On a side note, a few of those years had instrument panel problems. Speedometer going out, fuel gauge not reading, or funky readings on other gauges. If you need a replacement, NAPA has the best deal with a lifetime warranty for the instrument set.

Great looking truck Crabman. Should make a big difference in towing. You'll have to leave the flatland and come to the mountains to really shake it down!

I`m planning on doing just that, heading out your way sometime away from these marshy flatlands!

Ok, crabman, you need to come northwest and get into the mountains of the Blue Ridge and west to test that baby out. If you get in our neighborhood, give us a shout here in Luray.
