Lotto ticket!? not likely. I'm not feeling overly lucky.

We'll see what happens, time will tell. I'm going to be painting the truck real soon too. If all else fails it will help with selling it

they do indeed happen every day. I'm hoping something happens because selling it would be a big waste of money in the long run. To put so much money and time into a vehicle to make it really reliable only to have to sell it seems like a waste. But at the end of the day, it is just a truck and there are more important things, right?

i love my truck my dad bought it and its as old as me i grew up riding everywhere in that truck. we used to put the cap on it and go to ohio or somewhere and me and my bro would ride in the back. i love it. but somedays just wish that it was easier to do performance stuff on it.

im still gettin introduced into the wrenchin world, but so far im in love with my truck. my grandpa had one, and i loved it. i vowed one day id get one when i was roughly 8 or 9 years old. now that im 17 i got one, and i wanna keep it forever. i found a GREAT thing to pour my money into but like said before, i hate having to pay for the cost cutting engineering.

I have a long history with Mother Mopar, and haven't spent much of my driving life without a Power Wagon of one sort or another. When I get cut, I bleed Hemi orange, and most say my butt just doesn't fit anything else.
Can't wait to get my (pre-historic first gen) 1941 Dodge WC Power Wagon runing some day (with 1st gen diesel power, of course!).
