[Nfamuskeith]

5 lug sounds good, how is the cancer on the truck? It looks staight to me.

From the looks of it not a lot. This truck is in much better shape than all the other ones he was looking at. I couldnt get over how good of shape the drip rails were in.

The driver side floor board is ate up pretty good but other than that i think its a keeper
