I think those 2 trucks found a good home with someone that will take good care of them. I know you hated to see them go shorty but you did a fine job picking them a new home.

We are only temporary caretakers for our toys...we love them when they please us and hate them when they don't. And when our needs change we send them on to new owners that will do the same as we did. 1986 Dodge Ramcharger 440 2wd, Bracket Racer Under Construction 1998 Ram 2500 QuadCab, new daily driver. 2008 Honda Element 2014 Carry-On 7x14 Cargo Trailer
