    Lol. Yes it is possible. You can order new stickers. It has a new valve cover sticker free. I think a new oil pan also. Of course further investigation on the serial # would not end good.

    Yeah, it was OH a while back. Maybe 2019. It’s only been ran as a Team mostly for 50k since. Local Mechanic, they referred Me, he did my OH. He also did one on a Volvo, that parks next to Me. Dad are from the same little spot in TN. We know the same people from working at Farmers Market Downtown. Blah Blah Blah. He did the radiator when they inframed it. Same as Me. Bull gear being done, anyway. New radiator gets put in for free basically. Truck also has a new clutch fan. Just put it in.

    They have a 98 Classic. It’s going to need an inframe, King pins, etc. They were running the Century, and planned on doing the Classic. Going solo each. Plans change. 2 Brothers about 50 yrs old. I sold them my old Trailer. It’s for storage. I have a key for it. I’m going to miss that when it’s sold. Going to miss both of them. We got 4 of Us parked together that help each other out quite a bit.

    Prime rate today is 3.5% .. IMO.. thats laughable .. and you are correct people just go buy & buy and never worry about paying things off including their C.C. I bet 60% of American's are upside down on most of the things they have financed.. they homes their vehicles.. all the toys they have in their garages .. the thing that's saving their illiterate as.s's is the fact inflation is staying ahead of their debt load right now
    It was in the 1970's too then reality hit in the early 1980's..I was paying 20% interest on a truck & trailer loan in 1985
    These Millennials would crap their pants if they had to pay 14 or 16% on their 80k vehicle and 12% on their 500k home .. they would be down to the local pharmacy buying a bottle of sleeping pills and a bottle of booze
    Especially when they found out the goverment wasn't 't going give them a free pass or reduced rate..
    It's no different in this industry right now..

    Not even just the millennials man. I have a friend who has a brand new F350 on order and is paying $88500 + a bunch of aftermarket accy. that will add a ton more, but here’s the kicker, they literally just went and bought a 2020 F350 for $77k with 17k miles… I’m like so you cancelled the other order? Nope, They already left a hefty deposit on it. So they plan on selling the $77k one when the other comes in. They also just bought a 5th wheel that cost #### near the same. In their words,.. that is close to $100k in the 5th wheel…

    The other day they told me they are getting cash poor and are worried, I asked well why are you buying all this fancy ####? They said… oh my credit is good, I just don’t have any more cash… they ain’t done either…decided they needed a fancy horse trailer also.

    My house payment all in with insurance and taxes is less than any one of the toys. In fact my total monthly bills (house, private vehicle, credit cards) is actually less monthly than any one 0f those toys.

    I asked what are you going to do if things turn to ####… the reply… Don’t say that!

    An economic downturn is a great time to build wealth if you're positioned accordingly in advance.
