My son bought this truck in Texas just before he was release from the USMC came home soon after he found a job in Hawaii and could not take the truck with him...... ( very sad he has to sell it )needless to say he has way more than the reserve on this truck but he found him self needing the cash more than the truck for his family move to hawaii..............so he asked me to sell it for him. I have taken this little truck out to cruise nights and Man!!!!! everyone loves it. hope it gets a good home.On Feb-28-14 at 14:31:16 PST, seller added the following information: I have been getting questions about shipping time?
