Truck has a few scratches and a couple door dings, but all in all still a great looking truck. After I get another 20 years out of her, my son can have the next 20.
I made my own battery cables, but I still need to run a 12v access point in the cab.
I'm a fan of " If it ain't broke, dont fix it ", but if it makes the truck run better and promotes longevity of the truck, I'm willing.
The new ones look nice but swapping them out every couple of weeks until one is found that doesn't leak at the seam isn't much fun.
Local dealer sold me a new one for a reasonable price a couple years ago when it was water pump time and have had no issues with it even running hard on hot days towing. The aluminum ones are a questionable idea IMO because of how rigid they are and how they are hard bolted to the engine compartment. I have heard stories of them cracking also and decided to take my chances with an OEM plastic one for half the price. So far so good.

Just an idea for looks more than anything. If that cap is not an OEM (cant tell) I'd fix that though. They are a good idea to replace periodically anyway.
I like how it still has the stickers on the front with the A/C info and belt routing. That's how you know it's never been in a front-ender.

I fell for that a couple of years ago. Went straight to Ford for a Motorcraft tank and it sprang a leak right at the seam where they glue to upper half to the lower half. Took it back and they gave me another one. Went on a trip. Leaking in the same exact place on tank #2. Bought an aftermarket tank and it's holding just fine. Took tank #2 back to the dealer and got a refund and they were not happy. Grumpy face, LOL.
