    Yes but not right away. I really enjoy the truck but turning 70 in Oct and finding having some medical issues working on it is not easy to do anymore! Every thing is big and heavy to deal with. But having owned one is a blast to me even if only for a while.

Not knocking your truck but we had old trucks when I was in the Army and they were inspected in the motor pool and they...
