Taking another swing at it

There is no reward without risk.
There is no result without effort.
The last year of this thing kicked my butt. A few times I was ready to throw in the towel.
I had to reflect and refocus. Realizing the end goal and baring the worst to come as I stumbled to my goal line.
As the transition took place, I looked at my "well used" truck and noticed all the bright and shiny things I wanted to add now that it's mine. These things meant little while I was buying it. Only after it was mine alone, did I start thinking about needing to spruce it up.
I don't even have a CB installed...I don't have a TV or a laptop.

I think it's time to make measurements to build a custom cabinet or two. I want to cook in my truck and have a water basin.
All these ideas flood to me as I look at potential of what I can do now.
First, set up my own repair fund.

 

Waiting where the big rocking chair is in Illinois to unload a tractor in the morning, then I race to KC to offload our new beer account. Got to love Michigan micro breweries!

 

Chrome is a safety item right? I can write those things off because my truck is more reflective and stuff...right?

 

After the makeover! It's not ready for a close up yet.

 

I try to avoid cameras if I can.
Pretty much as soon as I was able I jumped over to the self maintenance side. It was far more money and I'm confident I can go a couple of weeks before catastrophe hits.
It's bizarre how I suddenly look at what I can add to my truck to make it bright and shiny.
They may get me on the FB page yet, but it will be a sneak attack.

 

I'm not going to go crazy, just going to make it more presentable than if a rag man owned it. Right now it has that "well used" look.
I would like to get the doors sealed better so I don't need a tarp over my legs when I go to the truck wash. That should be a cheap fix. Maybe if I just washed it it would shine right up!?
