    paint and interior are good tax write offs on top of cleaning the old girl up, got to spend the money somewhere on an old truck or your tax bill will be through the roof

    @Mr79W900A

    If you decide to re-home that T800H,

    Depending on the specs and how it would be to import to the US, I might be interested.

    When decision time comes feel free to message me if re-homing is the route you go!

    Some of the comments. . I cracked up. Ya so just FYI. My current truck isn’t junk, I’m a meticulous Guy, mild ocd. Ha. She’s pretty mint. Iv actually canceled out new altogether for a while. Only reason I was gonna upgrade is some places actually want that. If this one stays plan now is... repainting whole truck, boxes and all black with chrome. Gutting interior and sound proofing with sound deadner, carpet underlay and repaint dash and panels all black and chrome. I’m gonna repaint my engine and powder coat all the piping for turbo etc. Now you might think that’s gonna cost a lot. But nope. I do all the work myself. Maybe when I start it I’ll start a thread. Anyway guys keep it coming. Cause other guys newbie or whatever will value your opinions as do I. Thanks again.

    After seeing you were from BC it's just like I hoped, room enough for me to put a drop axle on for down here in the states.

    Man that old girl is sharp! She would look sharp in my mix!
