Default Pete 379 Legacy (lots of pics)

I went to my friends house today to check out this new truck he keeps telling me about. As soon as I pulled in the driveway I knew I was in love. It is the perfect color, with all of the right chrome and accessories. It has a 550 cat with an 18 spd trans. He took me for a ride and this thing is faster than the Charger rental car I have and I thought it was pretty quick. I was watching the speedo and couldn't believe my eyes, there was no way we were doing 80, we just left the driveway. But sure enough, we were hauling butt. He hauls custom boats with it when there is work. Said he hasn't used it for work in almost 6 months. Of course he also runs a marina in his spare time (if you want to call it that). Anyway, enjoy the pics.

I had to make the first one full size just for the effect...lol













And here's some shots of the Wide belly trailer he pulls with it















Here's the hood ornament he made himself from a block of aluminum









enjoy

Ron

It's swifty blue! The 379 I drive is spec'ed similarly, bobtail or even empty, it does not take long to get to 80 .

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt

That looks like the color mine was when I originally bought it.

I had no choice. The carrier I was leased to required the truck to be 70% white.

It's only 70% racist.
