    Newest truck = 2 times the scrapping!!

    Moving on up folks!!! Hard work is paying off!!!!



    2006 Silverado 4.3 liter engine. Just picked it up today. Mostly its for hubby to drive to work but told him the toneau (sp?) covers coming off and its going on its first run tonight. It has a frame hitch, yay!!!!!!

    He said ''my ass'' you think its going scrapping.



    This was my reaction -

    ''BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats what you think!''

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Throw some sides on the box and a wire/screen to protect the rear window, you will not regret it. Mike.

    Good for you, NA!!

    It sounds like you have some executive pull in the family...not bad for a tiny little girl!! "Get that pansy-looking tonneau cover off!! Tonight that darn truck is gonna WORK for its keep!! .........."yes, dear."

    I'm sure you will find your volume will come up with the bigger ride. As others have said, be careful about tossing something through that big beautiful back window!!

    Hubby says I can put sides on it as long as they are sanded, varnished, stepped and scalloped.

    Dude.



    told him the best I'd do is make sure the rails from my truck fit in his rail holes. *Winner winner chicken dinner!!*
