Well after talking to a couple people i have made a very hard decision. Im at the point in my life where i need to start thinking about getting an appartment/house and the truck just isnt going to be able to fit into the equation. I have her paid off and over 5k put into her. Just need some money to start out and get my self started. I wanted to offer this up to you guys first. I have had 3 7.3's since i started on this site and lets just say the first 2 were good learning steps LOL. This one i took a lot of time and pretty much did every preventable maintenance step i could. The truck is bullet proof besides the two front doors. I know some of you remember the thread i posted on rebuilding the bed, rims and tires, water pump, coolant filter, entire bushing kit, complete underside sanding and paint. I've put so many hours into this truck. So here it is, offering it up to you guys first. Many of you know i came to this site not knowing how to change my oil...i learned everything from this site. The help from all of you on this site built this truck and my past trucks.

Trucks been taken care of. Pretty much everything has been done do protect or fix the rust. Only thing that needs to be done is the door, either fixed or replaced. They still look ok, but if you would like to make it perfect fix the doors. Pretty much all-preventive maintenance has been done, water pump did not need to be done I did it to be safe, and put ELC coolant in it. Truck has a B&W turndown hitch on it along with firestone air bags. The Energy suspension bushings replaced all of the factory bushings(leaf springs, front steering, sway bar links. . .all bushings except for cab mounts).

Price is without rims and tires. If you would like them please let me know.

 

Well Phil, you have to do what is necessary, it's a nice truck, I liked it at RRE last year and you've really cleaned it up since then.

Good luck with the sale.

 

Nice truck! Sometimes in life there are just certains things you need to do! Sold my Harley 12 years ago.....still haunts me! But I needed to do what I needed to do!

 

what is happening? have you lost you mind?
i know you have to do things that you dont wont to but this will hurt.

 

Very nice looking truck. Good luck with the sale, I am sure it will go quick.

 

Am I the only one that missed the price. I read through once and skimed back over a couple times. If it is there my bad, but I cant find it.

 

lmao ... I thought it was just me

 

me too, I didn't see a price either.
Phil, if I could say something on this, I would heavily consider your options because selling a truck that is fully paid for, that you have so much into (time wise, thought wise and cash wise) and that is as finished and as nice as it is, on top of the fact that I don't think you will get nearly what I think you should for it, as Matt said... it will hurt.

Honestly though that is just my 2cents and I obviously don't fully know your situation, but I will say that a payed for vehicle is money in the bank.

I hope you get it figured out and all goes well.

 

Must be a hard decision to let her go Phil but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Just wish the steering wheel was an the other side m8. You could get 80K over here bruva.

 

i need to get into the import/export business then.

xtof

 

i know, i love the truck. i just need to get serisous about stuff a little more. im only 21 and i drive around in a truck that most people cant afford to keep running. i need to start saving for a house and stuff.

 

thanks for all the advice guys....i was hoping to get 16500 do you think thats reasonable? i know it will take a very special buyer to appreciate it. the truck is pretty much like new..i mean i rebuilt just about everything besides injectors and trans.

 

At $16,500 the truck is just about fully depreciated.
Virtually the only running cost is the fuel.
Compare this against a new vehicle and it is the exact opposite.

The major cost of new vehicle is the depreciation, and it's usually many times the running + fuel costs.

 

I know how ya feel phil,im doing the same thing,im selling my Ftruck so i can build my house..

Maybe we can start a home building thread .

 

You're only 21 don't be worrying about buying a house! Go out and have fun! This is the time of your life when you are supposed to have those toys.
