What goes around comes around

Ok guys. I want to share a neat story with yall. A couple of months back I bought my helper a 90 7.3 diesel f250. He is only 20 years old and a good kid. So when we first looked at his truck, he commented that why don't I give him my rough looking f250, and I keep the new nice shape truck for myself. I told him the truth, my truck is comming. One day I'll get what I want. And plus he deserved a nice looking truck. Well 4 months later my used car salesman friend calls me and says," I got a diesel commming in". Well, he never gets diesels, just little schit cars. But, I still said,"give me a call when you get it." outta of respect. A year prior to this I told him what I wanted, f350,4x4,4door,diesel. Well guys I'll let the picture speak for itself. oh its a 99 and has 155,000 miles, no chip, no fifth wheel no young owner. And the interior is excellent except drivers seat wear, oh yeah, leather interior Oh and most importantly, I paid 5,000 for it.
Moral to the story is:
We should never loose our good faith.

This was the deal of a lifetime. I thought I was completely NOT worthy of it. My friend had a half dozen breathing down his neck for it, but he told them thats Desy's truck if he wants it.LOL The truck runs great I'm on my third tank of fuel and I've driven it from new orleans to baton rouge a few times. It runs great no leaks at all. The truck is single wheel 350 which is exactly what I wanted Cause you know the helper will only rip the fenders off a dually.Thank you guys for your responses, I knew you all would be happy for a brother. I'm in redneck heaven,lol.

I'd beat that helper with a big "UGLY STICK" if he even thought of getting near it except to wash it. That is a beautiful truck.
I AM JEALOUS. What a great find, now for the Mods!!

You guys are hilarious!!! I wish I had money to mod it out.lol I was in so much of a need for this truck but I couldn't have bought it any other way. Im in the tree business here and it has been extremely slow for a while. But I promise the mods will happen. All your feedback makes me feel like family. My 6 year relationship just ended cause she just gave up and left. All we have sometimes is friends, good people, genuine people, and that is all we need too. trucks come and go, but characters live on forever,lol. I'll take some pictures of the helper so you guys can laugh your bASS off. Then I'll take pictures of his girlfriends so you guys can cry,( super fine). I need new tires so a burn-out video is on its way . Thank you all again!!! Carry-on brothers!! Desy.
