    Mine will turn 20 years old on Oct 5 this year. The 2 smartest things I ever did in the 43 years I have been an owner operator:
    Paint the truck
    Install a remanufactured engine

    You are on the right track. Keep us informed.

    It just take time and money.
    I had a little plastic surgery on the eyelids so I’m down for a few weeks, got to keep my appearance up too.

    Living in a trailer park, on your own authority - paint jobs are affordable.

    Kids are bare foot and starving, while you tell lies on here about new engines and transmission- come on now.

    So which is the better lease purchase deal again?

    :)

    It’ll look great - need to swap stories when you have time Sir.

    Curious do you get everything done (under hood, door jams, etc) or you keep the same paint scheme and get just the outside done? Base/clear or single stage?

    How many have a house that matches their truck?
    All that money from years of lease purchase has paid off. Why not spend a little to make me look good.
    Working at getting the kids some knock off Kicks to match. You would be amazed at all the $1.35 freight out there, I can get 4500 miles a week without even trying.
