I could fly down there and go visit my mom in Dallas for a few days and then drive it back up. Thoughts?


Here's the thing... I'm wanting a 350, but only for the same reason I wanted the X... it's the best. What's the difference between the 250 and 350? Also I really want the newer (05+ IIRC) dash but if this is that good of a deal I could always do a swap to save. Any truck I get will have an Iron cross front bumper so a newer front end isn't an issue either.

 

This is a LOT more money, but I think I would rather have this...

However, that little red rider does look like it has potential.

Good luck on what you decide.

 

Red One has potential!

 

It looks good man.

 

Nope, you're good.

You know... That thing is maybe three hours from me and Razzi. To save you some money we could always see about bombing up there with his AE and checking out the rig instead of you wasting a flight if it's a turd.

 

Sweeeeeet....it even has the Starsky & Hutch stripe.

 

On second thought, I like it. The race is on to see who gets it first buddy.

 

note to self....don't post ads of things I wanna buy in the Excursion forum....

 

Especially when said purchase is three hours from one member and many many hours and hundreds of dollars from yourself.

Of course I wouldn't do that to anyone on here. Not unless they wanted it more than anything else, and it would be a week or so before they could get it. Then I'd be willing to go buy it and sell it to the member for original purchase price. I've done that a few times before, last time almost got burned so I stopped.

 

I think for the miles and how far you have to go you could find a better one closer. Just my thought.

 

Well I've talked to the wife and she gave me the go ahead as long as you guys do Calling USAA in the morning!!!

 

Other than the holes in the body panels I like the red with the emergency vehicle stripe, looks unique. If the 6oh is sound, it might be the diesel you been looking for. Could wait for just the right diesel EX to pop up too

 

The f250 and the f350 almost identical other than the f350 has 4in blocks between the springs and axle vs 2in f250, more splines on the rear axle shafts and overly stiff shocks in back vs a f250.

 

So honestly if I remove the emblem from the truck and lift it it's like it never happened? What's the deal with the splines, is that something I should hold out for a 350 for?
