Re: my son has put 500 miles on his 68 already !

Thats awesome Im betting he gets attention from lots of strangers asking about it. and I'm sure half of his friends say I want one too!

we have been in the same boat my kid has been driving the wheels off the fleetside.

I cant even imagine the $ he spent in gas this summer cruzing around in it with his gf!

few weeks ago we were sitting around the camp fire shootin bull an a bunch of us got on him for rompin around town! its a very small town an the truck is stupid loud please respect your neighbors. some times in the evenig you can here him leave for work for like 2 maybe 3 mi. down the highway.

If your kid is anything like mine he allways gets out of the truck with a smile! except the other week he said he lost oil pressure and was worried! ahhh It was just a kinked burden tube.
