I hate to hear that the stepper would become a fleet. Back when you were helping me look for mine I originally wanted a fleet but as I looked around I really started to want a step. Well, we know what I ended up with. I kinda wish it woulda been a step.

Anywho, congrats on the negotiation.
I can fix you up with a stepside bed. I'd even work a trade with you if you want, and deliver / come pick it up. I appreciate the kind words brother. It means a lot. I'm not really 'losing' anything but you kinda get attached to these old cars / trucks. I just hate to see it go.

I am a huge fan of the 67-68 side trim. That and the fact you can absolutely stuff some huge tires under a fleetside.. I'm just thinking out loud really but I am keeping my eyes open for a fleet bed.

Thank you my friend. I mean no disrespect, but how the h*11 do people do this accidentally? Am I missing something here?

I just have to deal with it and move on. It's common in distance cyclists. At one point in my life I was riding close to 7k miles a year.

Thank you man. I hope things in the North East are getting back to normal for you guys too. It's odd how life deals you issues, the only thing you can do is just press on. My truck is a drop in the bucket compared to what you've been through.

I'd cut off my arm for a child right now. No questions asked. (Not to save my truck .. just cause I like kids )

For me just having the one truck is plenty and because of my lifestyle sometimes the truck sits for months at a time.
Yeah, I am having trouble finding time for one, much less two. I am just going to finish it up and enjoy it for a couple weeks and let it go.

I honestly don't know what to ask for it. Will you guys PM me some opinions please? I'm asking, you're not going to hurt my feelings. All except you Keith !!
