Thanks vey much Bill - I'm buying this tomorrow and very excited...needs some work for certain but its running in the meantime and my goal is to have this thing real sweet for my son to drive when he's 16 (I have 12 years to get it done so hopefully a realistic timeframe) I've been sitting in the bleachers loving the old ford trucks without a timeframe on pulling the trigger on one but this one chose me, at least thats what it feels like. I've tried for a few days to talk myself out of it and I can't - I'm giving in and I'm going to run with it.
Thanks Bill.
Thanks Bill.
no problem, when you get the truck post the rest of the info on the warranty plate (drivers door below the latch) and we can tell you more about it.

Thanks for the help, kind words, and encouragement. I am now a proud (maybe giddy is more fitting) Ford truck owner. Ive been bouncing off the walls since this afternoon and been back and forth between the house and garage half a dozen times tonight...like Christmas morning when I was a kid.
The info from the plates is as follows on MY TRUCK:
128B F100 081 A A2
5000 114 3600 34
If there is more to be gleaned I'm all ears and thanks in advance.
