Well... If I'd of known.. anyways, I'm impressed with it now, it's made its self some room behind the firewall after I did a few "boosted launches" lol. 3.5 leaves room for egts to be improved anyhow and I only paid 15 bucks for it at a wrecker so I guess I'm not at a loss there!

Was it 2 tone red and gray? 460 2wd ext cab? I think I'm gonna go back and buy that box cause that's the last part I need to "bypass" bodywork. You know like bondo and dent filling of sorts. Mind my bullet holes too lol.

Lol no it wasn't 2 tone. But if we're thinking of the same 2 tone one double check the wheel wells. I think that one might have hidden treasures . I'm planning on seeing if it's still there sometime today. If it is I'm going to try and make it back tomorrow

I'll wait till they come on sale again then go back. No I don't know of the one you're thinking of, what colour? The 2 tone one has the fender trim and there's a royal blue f150 in der that's got the smooth chrome box rails. Can't wait to go back now

Hey you should buy me that 2 tone one for Christmas!

Hahaha. The one I saw was blue. The sides were perfect. The inside had some dents. But the underside looked new. No dirt or crud packed in anywhere. I didn't make it in there today though. Maybe tomorrow.
