Yeah, I meant to add to my post that I am sure they look better than the black plastic ones they came with stock.

Tony,

Nice choice man. Seems You always know how to put something together w/o makin it gaudy. Props on the handles and de-badging the 'Lonestar'. Get ya the hard tonneau now and your set.

P.S. How your tuner work out for ya? I got a Superchips model for my Powerstroke about 2 months ago and haven't had time to get around to installing it.

Tuner works great, I had the same one on my '04.5 Dodge. These heavy trucks NEED the boost, makes them feel much lighter.

I'm looking for an easily removable hard tonneau, the heavy ARE one I had on the last truck pretty much made the bed useless for hauling anything taller than the bed rails. So, I'm considering those roll-away types, or lightweight hard covers with an easy detachment hinge.

you just keep the plates and have the new vehicle registered with them. They just mailed me a new windshield sticker for the new truck. Personalized plates cost an extra $40 per year, not much.

So with all your cars Tony when is there going to be an LS1Tech the magazine ? The first two to three issues could cover all your toys. As for the lawnmower I have this backwoods redneck I work with that has 29 riding lawnmowers, that are all tinkered with in some way (so he says) put some weld wheels on it and a 25 shot
