    That truck cleaned up a lot better than I thought it would. Started right up to. I'd keep it if I were you. Put a bed liner in it, invest a little bit to get it up to par and road worthy and I'd use it as a general work truck, parts hauler or what have you.

      It was a great truck, turns out a buddy of mine was kinda down on his luck. His truck blew an engine and he needed a truck for work. So I gave it to him for the price of the tires. So it lives on as a landscaping truck.
