All this talk about GoPros, made me break out the one at the office, here is some video of me driving around the Astoria area. Lots of wind noise, but not a bad little video...

Only because the camera was on the front windshield... I will see about a side mount near the exhaust next time.

However, yours does sound nice

Used my Ex to pull a friend's 1980 c20 truck back to his house and then his 27 foot Boles Aero back to his house. He got to the camping trip, and then his truck broke down, then came back and picked up my airstream. Lucky for us, we had camped VERY close to the house...the annual all church camp-in at our church. Only had to tow his truck and trailer 10 blocks, but no one's counting.

Will a rear diff/axle from a 2007 F350 have anything useful for a 2000 Ex? Someone is selling one locally with 4:10 gears and all brake components (I need rear calipers and I want 4:10 gears) anyone know?

Yes, the heads seem to be OK, with the micro cracks starting (Ford says these are fine and not to worry about), I may end up cracking them later down the road, but that could be years, and as long as I keep it running close to stock, I should be more than OK.

Look on Ebay and compare. I think they are both the 10.5 rear?

They are both 10.5 Sterling's, however they have different spacing which is why they changed the wheels backspacing from 2005 on.
