Nice to hear from you again, been wonderin' what happened to you. Hell, I thought you had already moved to MO. You gotta think this out man, once you get to MO., you'll really need that sweet ol' GMC! Who better to put a ding on it than you? As you well know, it can be fixed! I know you put a lot into it, and I hate to see you give it up, and I positively know you will miss it! But, alas, it is your truck. If I had the $, I'd buy it just to keep it in a good home. Anyway, think about keeping it, and stay in touch with all of us here on the board. I, for one, admire the work and care that you put into that truck, and have enjoyed talking to you in the past, and hope you stay with us no matter what. Keep in touch man, you have always been one of the class acts around here, and that is a good thing!
