Jay you are always causing trouble, LOL. I am not sure I would want that truck anyway. Less than 1500 miles a year on a diesel cannot be good. I mean if you started using that thing for what it is made for what would all the seals be like. Especially if it hasn't been driven in a few years. I would rather pay 10 grand for one that you know has been driven daily if not weekly.... Just my .02

Hey Tom! I agree with you. When I got my rollback with 28k on it the guy before me had to put shocks, water pump, valve cover gaskets and other misc stuff on it due to never being driven but on the other side of the coin everything else on the truck including the body looks like it came off the showroom floor.

Took Gabrielle and Austin to Toby Keith's Bar and Grill for lunch. Pretty good burgers and its a big place. The bar is shaped like a big guitar and he has a big red, white and blue one above it on the ceiling.

It definitely is in great shape for the year, my worries is it would be breaking down a lot for different things and then you just have a pretty good looking lawn ornament. He wants way to much for that, maybe 20-22k but that is even pushing it. I wonder how many times he changed the oil. He does live in Washington but it get cold there and that could lead to condensation in the oil if not changed regularly reguardless of the miles..just my .02

Agreed! You would have to get it cheap enough that you could afford to stick a little into it if you started having issues.

I do have the XLT and Super Sport or waht is left. The skids may be good and maybe? Not much left. My boat fits into a 5 gallon pail. It melted away completely.

I need to learn how to post pictures on here too.


That's about all I can say Lee.

If you need anything, let me know.
