Chad, the paint was done by the Ocala office of Mickey Truck Body. http://www.mickeybody.com/ I know nothing of their other locations, but this location treated me exceptionally well. Very happy with the overall experience. Great people! Jay Edited August 25, 2020 by Jaydrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPL Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Jay When I was looking for a truck (2010-11) I saw one exactly like yours in Alabama. I just wondered where it came from. Nice paint really changes the look. In your case it made it shine! Pat The Old Sailor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not familiar with those trucks, they were from the Watkins fleet out of Lakeland, FL. They were mostly single axles, as they ran doubles. They would sell off the five year or million mile trucks every spring. In '06, the Watkins line was sold to FedEx and those Volvos eventually dried up. I bought my '99 in '04. It's been a great truck and now we'll get to enjoy it in front of our fiver. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Howdy Jay, The important thing is if your truck suits your needs and YOUR happy with it that’s all that matters. We jest with each other but it is truly in jest, well all except Jim and his Western Star and Aaron and his Volvo, I camp with those folks so teasing each other is just part of the round the campfire laughter.

Dave Hey Dave, You're definitely right about the fun and value of friends poking a little good natured fun at each other, especially in a year when so many seem to have lost their sense of humor. We all have different paths to our perfect toys, but it's quite satisfying when we arrive. In the end, it's friends and family that truly matter... But we still enjoy our toys.

Steve from SoCal Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Jay, Your truck looks great!!! Regarding the comments about different trucks etc. Life would be rather boring if every one did and had the same thing. Diversity IS what makes forums like this so special, we all have a common interest. We express that in various ways with unique solutions and, ingenuity. It is always fun to see the transformation or metamorphosis of truck into a RV hauler.

I completely agree with you on the great value of variety and diversity in general, as well as on this forum. I personally get bored with the same ole, same ole, and I really enjoy watching others make way with their projects. My truck has been work only until recently and I'm having fun prepping it for more relaxing duty. It now matches our Newmar Kountry Aire exactly. The paint shop ended up ordering the exact paint from Newmar so it matches. Very exciting! Jay Edited August 26, 2020 by Jaydrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
