Kevin...not so sure about that....the 16 year old is driving the 86 now, so I get the feeling I'll still be doing a lot of wrenching on that for a while.

Not only can he drive something that is reliable (no electric gas pedals, no electric steering, no electric anything, really. except for maybe power windows/locks), but if anything breaks, he can learn to repair almost everything on the truck himself! That alone is worth its weight in gold, as not many kids these days are willing to work for anything. They all expect things to be spoon fed, yet there are parents out there who still try to raise their kids right, like yourself.
Congratulations on the new truck, too. My only wish is that they would drop the separate body style they've adopted for the 250's and 350's and so on and just stick with the new F150 body style.

I had a 2010 F250 with the turbo deisel....had to get the manual out just to find where to change the oil. I counted one day and I think there was 8 different coolers in front of the radiator (PS, PB, turbo, etc....). Enjoy that truck....20 years from now you'll be writing a resto thread on it.
