That being said, I have to sweep out the wood chips from the load of scrap wood I hauled to by brother's to burn. Yes it is good to keep something nice but it is a truck and should be used as such. If I was going to be that OCD about a truck it would be a nice '54 that was a hot rod.
[MENTION=148045]Snowdog[/MENTION] I love your signature line. it is so funny and i thought i was bad sometimes. LOL at "Sarcasm, just another service I offer"....

I'm willing to use mine as a truck only at my discretion. Otherwise, don't call me to haul anything just because you know I have a truck and any other time you would not call. Yes I am passionate about my truck and can be **** at times too.

I like it PawPaw. How long have you been retired? What did you use to do?

Wow.. I love my truck and of course want to keep it in the best possible shape but dang it is still a truck! I use mine to haul all sorts of stuff haha.

My 22ft toy hauler:


Bringing home my quad


and my newest addition so that I can have one in the bed and one on a trailer instead of hauling the 22ft every time:

Year's ago I was a company driver for Texaco and drove tanker's and dry van's...the company I retired from shipped electrical and cell phone tower's all across the country using mostly flat's and stepdeck's.
