Glad your posting again PeterMack, this thread was slow without you! Ha, thanks. Been an extremely busy summer. I've been taking pictures and people send pictures to me all the time but I haven't had much time to post. Scott, the guy that used to drive the grey R model for Brites is in a T800 now. He said the new guy in the R-model beats the shit out of it and he said that is probably the cleanest that truck will ever be. Sounds like it will get run into the ground.
