Well after almost 2 years and 32k miles I never really fell in love with "Casper" my 2013 3500HD dually found here: http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55217
The fuel economy, emissions and terrible seats is what led me to make a decision that it was time to go back to an OBS truck like my first Duramax, my 06 LLY. So the hunt began for a new truck, this time I wanted a 2WD as I have the flatbed to drive in the bad weather. This time it had to be white, because naturally it had to match the fleet.
Low and behold I found a unicorn. An 06 LLY 2WD with 10K miles, NO WAY. That has to be the lowest mile used truck on the market. So naturally I got the ball rolling, dealer I bought my truck from wanted my truck back in stock form, so I thrashed and made that happen and quickly snapped up this truck.

I ran it through all my sources and this a true unmolested 10K mile truck. It should be here in a couple of weeks. This truck is identical in options to my old truck which makes it great.
I have to thank forum members callie454, carhauler and crazycrew for all the help getting this all put together.
Plans are as follows:
Exterior
Interior
Performance
Should make a great tow vehicle with killer fuel economy, has to be better than the 11-14 I was getting in Casper.
Here are a couple pics:
And the wheels.
