CUMAPART:

Great color! We almost went with garnet, but we couldn't decide. Almost flipped a coin. I'm happy with the green, but I'd like a matching garnet one, too! #ad

CUMAPART,
Mine was built in St. Louis too. Since I'm close, it didn't have to go on a railcar - semi all the way. That made it quicker to get to me. Yours may be by rail, but I'm not sure. You might be able to track it with the railroad and Cassens (the truck company) after it leaves the factory. I think Fritz's site has good info about that. I've heard some say that the St. Louis trucks come with more loose bolts, etc... than the Mexico trucks, but no problems like that with mine.
