Hey that's better then my old beater...nothing wrong with it TexasTB, looks like a good to me.

Yea, can't wait to see the detail....it's going to look like new :righton: remember lots of pictures...please :D

<edit> I for got to say, sometimes you need to take a step backwards to take two steps forward.
I love lots of pics. Hopefully AG members are not using dial up connection, because that sucks...:o
 
Well, the other truck is officially gone.
They came and picked it up at 1:30-2AM this morning... I don't know why.

I called the lender a few days back to do a voluntary repo, which they said fine. We came to a conclusion, and they AGREED that I would turn it over by Friday. I would take it anywhere they wanted, ie., towing/repo lot. Again, they agreed.
So last night I could not sleep, stayed up watching TV.........and what do I hear out side... A tow truck :rolleyes:

I get dressed and grab the keys. Go out, finish taking out whatever was in the truck, un hook my trailer, and handed over the keys. I talked to the guy about it, about dropping it off, and he said, the lender said to pick it up. So, I was lied to from the lender, or someone cannot put things in a file.......

I ended up staying up until 5:30 AM, sitting outside thinking things over.....
I decided, while I was outside, to unbolt everything in the trailer. Empty the water tank, and mock up the bed of the truck. I got the tank, generator, and pressure washer mocked up for the following morning, so I could drill a few holes. Neighbors would have love it if I were drilling at 3 AM...lol

I also put most of my chemicals in Totes and bins and put them in the back of the truck, in the extended cab part behind the front seats....
I got a lot accomplished that early in the morning...lol

Working under the moon light..:D

Fell asleep @ 6AM and woke up about 9AM. Finished up the truck and gave it a bath. Looks great. The white has a red tint to it, like a pearl paint job. I'll get some pics later. I have to wash up and get a few jobs done today!
 
Gosh, some people! Well, at least it is all over with. I wish you and your family the best. We all care about you.
So let's see that spiffy pearly truck!!

I understood the new vehicle purchase but did not realize that you were getting rid of the trailer as well. What ever you need to do ....GOOD LUCK!!
 
Good choice Chris, now go out there and make some money.:righton:
 
Kirk, Not getting rid of the trailer. The truck does not have a hitch on it yet, so I mounted the big things in the bed of the truck. I will soon get a hitch when money allows...lol

Princess..... Son is doing good. Has testing coming up soon...again...lol
Oh, and BTW, the truck was dirty when I bought it. I knew it was repainted. It had a reddish tint to it. I thought I was seeing things...It actually has a slight red tint. It is Pearl paint...........sweeeeet
 
Sweet! Pearl paint :D

Please give update about your son's test. I hope all is well.
 
Few more pics... Interior hasn't been cleaned or shampoo'd yet...
Exterior just washed up...
