Oh I wouldn't be doing it, that's over my head. You would be surprised how easy it is to pull a turbine engine out of a Blackhawk though, I can get both out and replaced within a day

Easiest way is to pull the whole cab/body.

C130 engines can go in about 4 hours average to an entire shift taking their time. I would hate to foot the bill on acft or excursion labor.

I really like the EB color combos and interiors but I'm pretty much at the end of my rope now. Tonight will be the last night of looking for me, it's really starting to stress me out and everyone has done so much for me that I feel bad that I haven't bought one yet.
I have a Pueblo Gold '05. While not the sexiest of colors the positive is that it hides dirt well.

Ok for science, Apoc is this one out? Or is Razzi going to look at it?

The 2004 in Houston that had a dent or something under the cladding

And I can't speak for everyone else but please Apoc, don't feel bad about not buying one yet. This is your truck and if you aren't happy with it then there's no need to buy out of pressure from us. Just trying to help you out and make sure you get the best Ex you can.

When I was a sales manager back at Mike Davidson Ford back in 03-04 there was an EX that had been stolen (customers) and was torn up pretty badly. They had it on a lift in the morning and after lunch had the body off the frame so they could replace wiring and other stuff. I was beside myself!

Think of the torment we would all go through if you buy the wrong one!!!!

Take the time to be good with the one you get. It will all fall into place and feel right when you find the right one. Don't create pressure where there is none. It will only lead you down the wrong path. Or so I have found in my life at least.

I was looking for about 3 weeks waiting on an insurance check to buy something. The night I got the check mine went up on CL. I had switched back and forth between multiple vehicles, missed out on "the perfect one" numerous times, but couldn't have the $$ in hand. Then when I did get the $$ suddenly the right one was there for me.

Getting sick probably save you from the wrong choice or paying to much for the right one. Find the positive and move forward.

I honestly feel I was rushing into the 05 and God shut the door on that one for me. Razzi test drove the 04 today and gave it the



so the money is being wired (like 007, spy stuff man!) to him and then he's grabbing it and I'm going to have it transported up here
