I get a chubby everytime I see your truck! Very nice! Looks like a tight fit on the passenger side bank to squeeze into.

By the way, I put a check in the mail yesterday on it's way to you

What's seat time? I'm familiar with welding time, priming time, filling time and sanding time, but this seat time stuff you talk about seems foreign to me...

Man I can't wait to drive my truck!!
