gee Wes think I could come by where your at and get a diesel for dirt cheap? im kinda wanting a diesel instead of a gasser as I like the hum of a diesel and I know generally they can get turbo'd or a super charger on them with no issues....and I kinda want to keep one as a DD and the other as a beater to play with hehe

well, after alot of searching, i found the truck that suits me. And at such a great price!

It was right under my nose. My buddys dad has had this truck for 3 years and he heard it throught the grapevine that i was needing a truck very badly and he decided to sell his truck to me




96 f250 reg. cab long bed 4x4 351 w/ 5 speed tranny. Brand new wheels and tires, clutch, clutch master cyl., pinion and gears and all sorts of stuff. The tranny has the granny low first gear, HOLY **** its ridiculous. Truck only has 116xxx original miles and has been adult driven its whole life and runs/drives/shifts like brand new. Im in love with this thing, i really am. Picked it up for $2000

Duct Tape,
What kind of tires has your new truck got on it? I like the look of those. How does it handle?

They're goodyear wrangler territories. They're awesome so far, ive only used them on the road but you can barely hear them goin down the highway and it was wet out today and they handled great. I think they're relatively cheap as well

Just a correction the tires from wallmart are wrangler authorities . Same thing as the territories just sold under wallmart name . Only difference is the tread design both tires are based off the good year duratracs . Not that I'm sure you guys care .

Hmmm it would seem you are correct. i just saw "goodyear wrangler" on the sidewall and looked them up and only found territories to have the same tread design. Good catch cole.jace

Reps to you because im in a great mood
