After 17 years I finally let my 2000 F-250 7.3 go,.. After looking at the 2017 Super Duty I knew it was time for a new truck, and with the wife's blessing I ordered my F-350 SWR Platinum on Dec 12th. My salesman said not to expect it until about end of February or first part of March. I was pleasantly surprised when he let me know it was here, picked it up yesterday 18 Jan! Absolutely love this thing! I have been on this web site everyday for the last couple months and have made several decisions based on post and pics I have seen here, so thanks to all that have posted! I have a FabTech 4link lift kit laying on my shop floor, a set of American Force 22x10 wheels on the way as well as a set of Nitto Ridge Grappler 37x12.50. I am waiting on the wheels to get here (next week) and will take the Wheel face plates, the 4 link lift and springs to get powder coated dark red before installing it all. I will posted the end results in a few weeks.... Can't wait to get it all together! 17 years old but was flawless, great truck never let me down!

Arrived a full month faster than I was told it would
F-350 Platinum, Magnetic, with the Black/Brunello interior

I see your up north from me, I live in Sunset, just north of Lafayette about 12 miles.

 

Green Power Thanks, I took care of my 7.3 with the intentions of keeping it for ever. I was very proud of the shape is was in, I had 189,000 miles on it. I keep a very detailed maint. log and a 3 ring binder (about 3 inches thick) with every receipt I ever spent on parts and maint. really helped out when I sold it.

 

Have family down in Lafayette

 

that 7.3 truck was absolutely beautiful, love the wheels and tires, are those weld wheels? Nice job of keeping it up. You will love the 17' congrats

 

Congrats on the new truck! Man your old one looked nice, well done!
