The FWC Granby could be negotiated into the sale but presently I'm thinking to keep it. Might trade for a Hawk of equal value to put on the next truck which will likely be a megacab Ram.

Wow! Wasn't expecting to see the truck for sale. Looks so weird without the FWC on. If this was a 3500, I would likely be interested in buying it back and put my M1010 box on the back. The 2500 is 600 lbs. less GVWR than my M1010 rig.

Good luck with the sale. Really loved that setup!

Whenever I see one of these I have to make the diesel sound - "Ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga" I miss it with our tame modern TDI the only diesel in the fleet now -

GLWS, getting rare!

It's been such a great entry to expo world for me and it will make a great truck for the next person to rally! Thank you Mike, wish I had the funds to do a full resto the way I'd like it but with a 90 lb dog and ever growing gear collection I really want a megacab. A lot of value added in this truck for the right person.

I'm interested. PM me if it is available - and what the FWC combo would cost.

For those curious, watch the video of Frank Zappa and Ron Paul from the 80's, and then look for Ron Paul talking about the MIC a decade later.
