Sheilajeanne Report post Posted July 11 (edited) Chuck, I just saw a cool idea for an addition to your truck! BTW, idjit who originally posted it obviously doesn't know side rails and running boards are two different things...

Mulesaw Report post Posted August 4 @Frodo Darn that is some impressive work! Great to get a truck back on the road again. I still firmly believe it is better for the environment if people fixed their old cars instead of buying new electric cars and throwing the old ones away.
