Shameless plug: Look at my truck!

[reklund]

This is totally shameless. It was almost 70* here today, and I washed the truck in short-sleeves. Gotta love New Mexico in December... Pic taken at the Sportsmans Wearhouse parking lot, where I was cashing in some Christmas gift cards... Tell me what y'all think of the old girl!

Looks nice. Wish mine would clean up that nice. The Pa salt has taken its toll.

don't forget to add that it frequently gets over 110 in the summer
drove through that heat this last July. Lucky my AC was working good

Looks good - gotta love those climates where it doesn't snow - the salt does quite a number on truck bodies up here.

Nice photo. Dayum, I miss deep blue skies in the winter time. We're in for four more rain storms here over the next week or so and my truck is looking rather muddy. Won't be cleaning mine 'til March. Why bother?

Looks good, Salt really hurts trucks up here,

Sharp!

Looks great! We lost all over our snow except up high and it's been raining off and on for days so you know what a muddy mess the roads are. If we get a dry spell here I'll run The Hulk down to the carwash and get a layer of road grime off. I know it's a truck but I sure like to have it clean!

Oh, yeah. Don't get too smug when its' only 85 degrees here in the summer instead of scorching heat in the desert! I'll take some winter weather. I don't have to do yardwork that way! Kick up my feet and watch Outdoor Channel or Dukes reruns on CMT.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! I really have been impressed with the old truck. When I bought it, I had no experience with diesels, and everyone said these old IDI's were pretty worthless for towing. At first I was sure I'd be selling it and getting a CTD, but because the truck was in such good shape, I thought I'd try it out. It was a little anemic at first, but nothing the ATS parts didn't fix... Now it pulls with my buddies 96PSD no problem, towing pretty much the same load (a Toyota rock buggy on a flatbed trailer)

I want to get some 96-98 PSD alloy wheels for it, or maybe some other Alcoa wheel, some bucket seats, keyless/remote start, and upgrade the stereo a little. Other than that, it does everything I want a truck to do.

I thought about getting 19.5 Rims/Tires (Discussion Here). Rickson and Alcoa sell them. Looking at ~$2000.00 with tires for a set of four.
