Hey Bryan, get your truck back to stock and on the market!

That 2009 truck really looks the biz. If my business hadn't gone done the toilet with the change of government purchasing arrangements I would be at Picton checking it out now!

I won't be in that space for another 2 years ATM, when the lease runs out on my current truck.

Mmmm. That's got me thinking. Can we arrange for a group discount and get 3?

How much do you reckon you'd get it for landed and converted?

Although I do love my truck. I love driving into Bunnings and having the biggest ute there

A conversion in the states would mean swapping it from RHD to LHD!

There are also Aussie conversions outfits on the gold coast that do Mustangs and the like that may do an Effie for you. And with the money saved you'd be able to fly to the Gold Coast and have a holiday there when you pick up your truck.

Did Clay say which motor he thinks is better out of the 6.4 and 6.7? If they keep doing 300cc upgrades, in another couple of upgrades they'll be back to 7.3.

Life's like a game of cricket when you're batting. There's 3 calls you can make: yes, no, and wait.
Bryan's a yes.
I'm a wait.
Brian's a no.

Bryan, why don't you make the guy in Picton an offer? F250's aren't the fastest selling vehicles and the seller may be more open to an offer if he's still got the vehicle a couple of weeks before he's off OS... Maybe get it for five figures, albeit quite a few 9's.
