it was a pain in the butt finding a truck, i was set on a 1999-2003 7.3L crew cab, I didn't want anything else, so after searching for weeks I finally one, only found 3 that I wanted in like 50 mile range, but then I finally settled on getting this one!

picked her up for $13,000!!
which now (Feb 28, 2017) is one hell of a deal!!!
now a days that guy probably could have got $20,000 the way it was
