Yours looks really nice.
WOW................. that's a big load!

I've only owned this truck for a bit over 5 years and have slowly worked through most of the standard mechanical maintenance items. Still need to replace the wood in the bed and tackle some rust in the inner rockers and cab supports. I use the truck fairly often so I've been putting off the rocker repair. I've been trying to figure out a 'trick' way of getting the two lower-front cab pillar support bolts off with removing the hood and fenders.
