This is great news, glad you have it back. Any pictures?

I’ll take some tomorrow now that the rain has blown through and the sun will be out.

You can see the difference in the gap from the top to the bottom of the bed.

That’s better, For some reason I was thinking your truck was older. Looks good!

Thanks, I try to keep it looking its best.

I can’t complain, bought the the truck in 2003 for $11,000. It is still worth just over $6000 now 9 years later. That’s why it didn’t get totaled.

In that whole time, I have had to change the speed sensor on the rear end ($15) and the cam synchronizer that goes in place of where the distributor used to be on the 3.0 before it got a coil pack ($100).

Other than that, just meticulous maintenance and a few performance upgrades to make it drive like it should with a 3.0 V6.
