I must have it all wrong then, or I'm just getting by to get by...I've never quite considered 'old gray' a toy.. smile
I guess it has something to do with the fact that my truck is now 32 years young and I won't part with it (although I've had some ridiculous offers to). Our home is on a large piece of property plus we have my FIL's farm now, plus the properties in Canada, and I've been able to get by with this old truck, an '02 Excursion diesel, and a variety of trailers here. We still have an old but nice '88 Suburban 4x4 in Canada I bought when it was a year old (we have a new 16' dump trailer up there).

I guess if I had the money, I'd go out and buy a new F250 Super Duty long box, but since I don't, and I'm a simple man, I'll live with old stuff and make what I do have work. I kind of like no-payment living. wink
