Hey guys,
Long time to talk. It's been a good year so far. Lots of good photos and putting the highboy to good use. Plus got some new tires of the excursion. I also wanted to invite you guys to an event we are putting on more for the 7.3 crowd, but it is not exclusive. Any truck enthusiast is welcome, especially Ford Enthusiasts! Click the flyer below for more info. I have more good photos of the Excursion for this post, hopefully your not offended, and of the Venue as things are really starting to come together!

The main thread is here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15312366

Hey guys,
Long time no update. I don't think this truck can even spell retirement! Still going strong!

Gorgeous pics! Lucky dog, lucky truck. For an old truck you just randomly chose from a Craigslist ad, it's leading the most incredible life. It's one of my most favorite Highboys on here (hickory's perfect green one is the other, another lucky truck! )

I searched out this thread from last year, I just needed a fix. This is probably my most favorite thread ever posted here, it tells a great story.
I love this truck so much, it has a look all it's own. And this thread has the most beautiful photography, each photo is a work of art!

I started again from the first post and am enjoying it all over again. Thank you Lloyd for a great adventure!

Awesome thread-just read all 15 pages of it! In the beginning this truck had so many issues that I would have passed on it. But you've proven it still has a lot of life left!

Did you ever fix the oil leak? It was suggested that it might be the rear main or the intake manifold
