Nice truck and congrats. I loved my '01 when I had it. Wouldn't mind getting another one sometime soon. I kinda miss the sound of that supercharger.

I got a pretty good deal on this one.. It's hard to find a good deal on these trucks.. But I had cash in hand so it made it a little more easy to haggle.. lol.
