After what was a horribly long wait to get this truck shipped ,it is finally on its way here . I could not have imagined that it would have been this hard to get it shipped from West Virginia. Bigarmzz took this pic this afternoon. Hope to have it Friday.

I do not think he knows but he will soon . He peeked over my shoulder at an email but it wasnt clear that I had bought this truck .Since it seems like forever since I bought it , he probably could not have put it together. I am just glad to finally get it picked up . It was difficult to find a shipper to pick it up in WV. If work was not so crazy right now , I could have had a beautiful drive across country but I was only able to take 3 days off this Summer. Not much of a vacation.

That is the plan .He will have to show that he can take care of such a nice truck though or it will be the Yellow hound for him .My plan is to actually let him drive my newer truck several days and this only a couple days a week . He does not have a license yet so it will be My truck for a while first.

Crap I hope he knows how lucky he is. If my dad gave me a truck I would take care of it like my first born.

Wish my dad would give me a square and not my brother

I agree. I bet he has another square before long!

Congrats on the purchase Frank. That is going to look nice sitting there with all your other fine looking squares. Glad to hear it's finally on it's way South. Maybe I'll keep an eye on the interstate here so if it comes by I can hijack the hauler.

Jonboy · 08-26-2010, 12:34 PM

Congrats, Frank. That is a great looking truck. Glad to see it has a good home.

f.monroe · 08-26-2010, 12:43 PM

I talked to the truck driver and he is loading one in Atlanta,Ga tomorrow morning and then coming this way . look for it on I-10 Friday and Sat morning early.

West Texas Z · 08-26-2010, 09:57 PM

man, there was an 87 here in Lubbock thats MINT for around 5-6k that probably could have been driven faster to your house than getting that one shipped. Dont get me wrong, that is an AWESOME TRUCK!.

Take pics as soon he see's it!! I bet his jaw will drop.

slugish · 08-26-2010, 10:45 PM

Hey Frank , its probaly good that you are having it shipped cause where bigarmzz lives in ELKINS wVA. you probably would have gotten seasick driving up & down those mountains> especially someone from the flatlands. Beautiful truck -would love to have it .

WigglesTheHoly · 08-26-2010, 11:32 PM

so uh.... do you want to adopt me lol

Hey hey no cutting in line.

f.monroe · 08-29-2010, 12:52 PM

It arrived last night . I met the driver at 2am. I didnt want it to sit in town another night . The only casualty was the front spoiler . The trucker paid for a new one without any problems . We just agreed to its value . It was late and he forgot to use the boards to keep it off the ramps. I will clean it up today and try to get some pics .
