Special Thanks By Owner:
To everyone who touched this truck, this was built to be my driver in three months and is going very strong. The truck was hit by a drunk driver, had a tree fall on it on Halloween, and the bed was ripped off at a construction site, but it's always been repaired to better-than-old shape by the best friends I could ask for.
