No problem here. I've always had expensive habits. I've seen your truck before. My wife thinks the 9 inch lift on my 2001 GMC is a lot. She should see yours. She balked when I had the 37's on it. She made me down size to 35's. Again, she should see yours. She's a shorty.

Mark Welcome to the MO FTE group. 
I too am afflicted with the too many Fords, too little money but hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Until you drive out to Idaho to pick up a $350 56 Panel that's made into a trailer, there's probably hope for ya. I did this and now know I'm a goner. But it's probably not worth taking those odds. Embrace the bug with gusto and enjoy every minute looking for parts, working on or driving these blue oval wonders.

I wouldn't want the cure even if there were one. Ford blue, through and through.

Jackson, MO, just West of Cape Girardeau and about 100 miles South of St. Louis down I-55. Originally from Fredericktown, MO. Actually, was an Army Brat and that is where my dad ended up after he retired from the Army. After I retired from the Army, I ended up in the Cape area.

I have a niece that lives in Jasper, MO and works in Springfield. I would imagine that is fairly close to you and Alan.

I'm 20 minutes or less from Springfield, depending on where we're going in town.
