Prices are regional. Don't look for one in Washington - the state. 7.3Ls are gold up here... no matter what's wrapped around it.

Yes, it's especially true with these trucks, more than other vehicles. I discovered that thanks to this thread. I guess they're high around here because there's so many people that use truck for work here.

looks identical to mine, my original window sticker calls it mahogany.

Well, I made it home about 11:30 last night. This is the first vehicle I've ever gotten where it was nicer than I expected when I went to look at it. I'm really happy with it. Almost no leaks from the engine, none from the trans, and none from the T-case. I bet I could turn around and sell this think for a $3k profit in this area now. Not going to, of course.

Congrats! Dig the color. Does it have any mods?

The only think I can tell so far is it may have 3" exhaust. I haven't verified and I don't know what the DIA or the stock exhaust is. Clean slate, otherwise.
