Good job, nice truck. The paint job price is right.

I like flatbeds, that is all that we use here on the farm.

That front bumper looks a lot like the one that I built for my truck (to mount the snow plow to). Except mine is rust coloured.

Yeah, black in Texas?! Still, looks way better! Definately looks like a Texas truck. There's just a certain look to a truck from the Lone Star state, bullbar and headache rack are obligatory, but there's something else too, where you can tell it's from Tx. The pattern of the dents maybe?!

wife AND trucks ???

Can't understand how you guys have wives and this truck addiction. All of my wives have given me the ol' ME OR THE TRUCK ultimatum. Truck's still here; never argues, never complains. Does have a never ending honey-do list however!
