I can only imagine how ridiculous the fees are to get stuff in Canada.

Yes it's crazy, I have to ask the vendor to lower the price on the customs label so I pay less tax, what ever happened to free trade

Well I had a few tire kickers come by and look at the Zebra. I ran one guy off when he offered to "take the heap off my hands for $400", people these days.....

I snapped a few pics to show that the Zebra can still get it done. I had to park it next to the house and it has to go down this hill in to get there. I actually stopped halfway down, put the parking brake on and got out to look at a branch before getting in, back up the hill a bit and coming down at an angle. Not bad for "a heap"

I had put $1200 OBO, figuring I'd get about 1000 even. I have a guy that swears he wants to get it tommorow. So well see I guess. I am thinking about getting another truck but if I do it'll prolly be either a 250 or 350.

Ha I know all about tire kickers. I've had my 96' on Craigslist for a lil over a year and I have had nothing but tire kickers and spam the entire time. I don't think my price is outrageous but whatever. The more people that irritate me the shorter my fuse gets before I say Fukitol and just keep the darn thing!

Try www.Partsgeek.com, that's where I get a ton of my parts from.

Cheap prices, cheap shipping, and it's always came to the house within 5 business days.

New headlights are like $25 each, shipping included. Just to give ya an idea.

Its been awhile since ive been on here! Been super busy lately.

The Zebra did get sold. It was parted out to keep three other Ford trucks running. I wish i could kept it but with me moving across the country and prolly only getting an apartment, it woulsve had to go anyway.
