Best Truck I Ever Bought?

[swampedout]

Good people of the garagemahal,
Ive been busy these past months and havent had much posting time but I hope everyones doing well.
On one of my rare social interactions recently, a friend asked me what my plans were for the Bullnose, since Ive had it a couple years now and he assumed I spent a lot of time and mo ney on it. I assumed I had spent a lot of time and money because thats what happens when you own old trucks. Ive replaced a battery, spark plugs, brake MC and booster, voltage regulator and thats abt it.
So far I know for certain I have way less than $500 in parts and its never seen the inside of a shop since Ive owned it. It could use new tires and a transmission and I got to do the drum brakes soon but Ive hauled more than 10,000 gallons of water, towed two or three other trucks, building materials, yanked a neighbor out of a ditch, commuted for half a year and just wont quit.
Its no beauty queen but I bought it to do exactly what its been doing. I know there comes a time for every truck where something leaks, overheats or falls apart but knock on wood if I can get a couple more easy months out of it, its going to start getting the overhaul it deserves.
So if you dont see me posting on here for a while, take it as a good sign.

Thanks for checking in!  Glad things are going well and, in a way, I hope we don't hear from you for a while if that means things are continuing to go well.

Awesome.....enjoyed the read. Your comments mimic the work I've poured into my Bull. It's been a great truck and deserving of the work and effort I've put in to it.
