Oh, hell. I can't see the pic! I remember you talking about getting a diesel a while back. Welcome to the Coal Rollers club!

I forget you can't see pix...lol.
Thanks. It's two-tone grey/white, just turned over 266k on the clock. Rides nice, torque for days. Gonna tow the Bull to Indy with it, among other things.

that'll be a great tow vehicle, and that year is one of my favorite body styles. I had a black 95, gorgeous truck.

Yeah. I love the OBS body style myself, which is why I wanted that generation of truck for my first diesel. And like everything else with me, it won't stay "as is" and will be getting stuff done to it as time and budget permits. I do want to do a Super Duty spring conversion before I go to Indy for sure though.

Just a warning......You'll find out that mods for that diesel are waaaaaay more expensive than a gasser!

Thanks. Used to be Jess's (Scott's daughter). Bed's been replaced, and it's overall in great shape for an 18-yr old truck.

It did great coming home from out east Saturday. Only used maybe 1/4 tank of fuel? So that's a real positive by itself.

Hopefully it has something like 3.73's in it, so you don't have horrendous mileage.
