JThorngate3 thought it was 25 posts...I hate to think I need to go around making pointless posts (like this one) in order to proudly display my truck here when it comes in...anyone??
Thanks in advance.

25 posts is correct when it comes to attachments...only other way around it is to use an off-site host like Photobucket, etc. And pointless posts are basically referred to as spam which is deleted, so make the posts count.

Thanks John...of course my comment of meaningless posts was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I could simply post onto someones photo and say "Nice Truck"....get up to 25 posts and avoid the issue. Hey, I'm at six so far. Take care.

I knew it was tongue-in-cheek.....just sayin'. Like I said though, if you have a Photobucket account or something similar off-site from FTE, you should be able to post pics from it. Oh, and believe me, it doesn't take any time at all to build a post count of 25+.

On the subject of your truck, what are some of the details on the F-350 you ordered?

Here goes:
2011 F350 Lariet 4x4 Crew 6 3/4
Dark Blue/Sterling Grey
40/20/40 split front seat, black leather
Lariet Trim, tow package, chrome package, camper package
3.73 axle
Tailgate step, tough bed liner
Lariet Interior Package
I think that's it......I tossed and turned on a few decisions like rear axle ratio, color, door trim. When it gets here I'll have a DVD installed and a Tonneau cover installed.

Sounds like a fantastic truck! That color combo is going to look great too. I've seen a few on other sites in the Dark Pearl Blue / Sterling Grey two-tone and it is very nice. Can't wait to see it. If you're not towing heavy and often, I'd say the 3.73s are the way to go from what everyone else is saying.

I'd go the photobucket route as well.

and there is more space then you will probably ever need. Free too..
and thats the best part. lol

That is a great looking work truck.
How do you like the gooseneck setup and the inbed power plug?
How does the 6.2L pull with the 4.30 gears?

It was cheaper to put a B&W than the factory ford hitch.

the truck does great with the 4.30 gears I would not get the 3.73.
The pic with the trailer is loaded with 17 steers that averaged 549lbs. I figure the trailer and load weighed 13k. I averaged 10.2MPG round trip

Check these pictures out and let me know what you think. My brother got the letters and made them for me. I can get any color I want.

Cool on the lettering! Wonder how chrome lettering would look? And then do black for the front...

That's what I was thinking but my brother said the chrome paper is very expensive. Would be about $40 just for the back. And it has to be special ordered.

Those Chrome letters look good, but not for $115.

kmonty2 $115.00 is a lot. I have a 2011 F-350 cc long bed and I have been wanting to get adobe tan letters to match interior.
