Welcome to the Dana60 ranks.  :)

Man, that rig looks super clean.

I've got a couple K-30 D60s in my stable as well.

Would like to add to my stable an M-1008/1028 at some point.

thanks.. the truck is clean, it got painted 15+ years ago, and the clear coat is starting to peel..  so a new paint job is in the plans..  gonna keep the classic blue/white two tone..  are either of your K30s 3+3s?  my brother just picked up a crew cab GMC 2wd!  straight body so we were think 4x4 conversion... in the future..
