That's a really nice shade of maroon. What's the name of the color?

That's a very nice truck. But the dog doesn't look happy. Does the dog get to ride in the truck?

Frank, I barely am allowed to ride in the truck. The cab on these trucks are small and I'm a good size guy so we made the passenger side fit me (barely) and my wife who's very small does the driving. The dog was allowed to help us build it but has never been allowed in it. However she gets to ride in my truck nearly everyday.

I don't remember what the Ford name of the color was. She has the book around here somewhere but I'm not sure where. If I get out to the shop soon I'll see if it's out there. The paint guy ended up calling them garnet and gunmetal.

The dog is not allowed in it?? The only reason the dog helped on the build is it's the perfect dog riding truck. Windows down windshield open to let all the interesting scents in for the dog to enjoy on the ride. How could you not let her ride?
The color combo is really nice.
BTW I think my wife is afraid of my 41. She wont drive it.

I see your point and I agree that the dog should ride in it. But by now you should have realized, by my posts, that I don't have much say about the truck and how it's used. I was allowed to help finance and build the truck. I mean after 3 years of turning wrenchs in the hot and the cold should account for something. But my wife took ownership of the truck while it was being built and I like living a peaceful existence without the threat of reprisal. My dog feels pretty much the same as I do. Therefor I don't drive the truck and my dog doesn't ride in it. I help wash the truck, I help fix the truck, I help maintain the truck, I even get to take pictures of the truck, but it's not for me to say what happens with the damn truck. Oh man now I'm upset again. Where's my prozac. Ok, OK I'll take my nap. Oh it's the voices, it's always the voices. Aaahhhh!!!!

Sorry Garrison. Time to chillax. Take your dog for a ride in your truck. Things should be better in an hour or so.

Great advice. Whew things got a little tense here for awhile. I feel better now. Now all I have to do is find my lost manhood and see what I should be making for supper. Afterall she'll be home soon.

Of course you all realize I'm just kidding, right? I mean you guys don't get to drive your vehicles and let the wife drive, right? Please.
