Can't beat that! We need to have a Birmingham area SS get together.
BTW, I still have 3 trucks up in Huntsville I need to bring home. Recovery, you're welcome to drive one for me :)
Welcome to the site vafish!
If you really want to have your first vehicle from auction AND get a good one and not a junker you need to do this. Spend time reading on the board about everything, not just about m1008/9's. There is alot of good info on here, and pics too :)
