    That looks great -
    . This deck of mine is almost 10 years old. They used these oddball screws with real small heads that takes a star bit. I took out a few yesterday that were sticking up. All the screw heads are full of paint. So had to pick that out with an ice pick. Yay. One of em was rusty and stripped out so had to get it out with channel locks.
    Did a little more today. Half way done.
    When the sun gets to the top of the trees its. quitting time.
    Currently 91 degrees. :(

    10 speed / 3.42 / 505 HP

    It's definitely got some long legs. I'm thinking a cruising speed in the low seventies should be pretty obtainable.

    Definitely not a COMMUNIST STATE truck.

    Unknown. Bought it off the internet. Was the best price on a low mileage truck I've seen in two years.

    Dude drove it back and dropped it off with my guy at Freightliner here.

    I didn't want to even take a chance on moving it last week with the blitz on.

    Which is fine, cause we spent most of last week dealing with other people that constantly thanked us for our patience.

    It's the modern world. What should take 2.....maybe 3 days, takes two or three weeks.

    The OM thinks the people that thank you for your patience kind of contribute to the economy by creating jobs, so you can employ people that will thank them for their patience.

    Nah, that's near the SC border. I'm down near Florida.
    But it is a nice looking truck.

    It's got leather seats. Might take the old passenger seat out of II and put it in III. Or see if I can get or make some kind of seat scratching post cover.

    Sometimes it saves time to set the Bit into the Screwhead and tap it with a Hammer, then start quick bursts with the Screw Gun

    I prefer using Vice Grips on the Spinners cause Ya don't have to worry about slipping off the Head

    I'm rather surprised to see The Directional Tire Directional Arrow actually pointing in the correct direction considering some fancy hat freightliner Dealer "technishuns".
