I didnt own a digital camera way back in 2000 when I bought the truck, but just imagine a plain red truck.

Now as it sits today.

Well here is my then and now ! Traded my 99 F250 for a 01 F350 dually. That baby should handle my 34 ft fiver a little better. Btw if anyone here is looking for a nice straight truck 99 F250 with no issues and lots of extras drop me a line. Would like it to go to someone who would treat as well as I did.
