That is a nice looking truck. The idea of a CCLB has grown on me - right now my F150 is an ECSB (6'6") and I kept feeling like a CCLB is "too much truck", but always better to have more than enough than to be short...

Not too familiar with the dealer. I really like that color combo though...and if I follow right the truck came from Texas, which means it's clean. Rust is such a pain up here in PA...my 1/2 ton has some rust issues that need addressed once show season is over.

Yeah Texas is definitly rust free Ford country.. We deal w the same rust issues up here in Maine too.. I'd never buy a truck in state unless it was new...

All three of my trucks are in-state trucks. The black one in my sig (my 1/2 ton show truck) spent some time in Florida, but even last winter the cab doors got replaced, and the bed floor's getting pretty bad so this winter the bed gets replaced too. Expedition, as far as I know, spent all of its life here, as well as the CCLB I pick up this weekend. Fortunately, both of them are pretty clean and I hope to keep it that way.

Well, the show truck has the holy-crap painted out of the underneath, and it spends most of the winter in the garage now. Expedition got a decent paint job under it, and some Fluid Film treatment.

The CCLB is a 96 XLT, 7.3L diesel 4x4.

Hahaha...I can't afford to have AutoTrader email me, I'd be broke and sleeping in one of the trucks!

Yeah I do, it's automated and it's free... If you do a search with certain parameters you can save it, ask for a daily email, and it'll automatically send you an email when something meets those specs; mine are kinda loose 94-97 f350 because people always list them different for example they won't put diesel in the title so if you got that specific then you wouldn't get the email.. I get every one, gas, diesel, 2wd,4wd, etc etc, but it's only a hand full a day maybe 6 or 8 trucks... I also do the search nationwide so I see everything and what their going for...
I do the same w Ebay, get a daily reminder for f350s, as a matter of fact that's how I got mine.
