     At least you jumped right in there and started tearing it apart.

Nice truck griff.

This is probably going to sound weird, but I recognize that truck. I use to live in Merritt Island, FL and I could of sworn I bought a pair of tail lights or something from a guy who had a truck like yours. Probably wrong, but that truck is REALLY familiar.
