My truck doesn't even have one and I told you guys what it was. Plastic could be gone over something as simple as putting the front of the truck in a snow bank and backing out or from the vehicle getting towed (even on a rollback this could happen) to something as major as front end damage that when repaired they missed this item. They aren' t held on by much so the possibilities of losing it are limitless.

I live in Los Angeles. Bought my ideal truck in Dallas. A twenty-four hour drive home, but a great shake-down cruise with no problems at all. $200 for a plane ride, another $200 for fuel, and I saved around $6K.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it all over again.....

Hold out for the leather. You'll appreciate it every time you climb in to it.

I looked locally for several weeks and everything here is either junk or a 6.0. Katrina has increased the demand for 7.3 trucks dramatically.
I bought it from a private party so it was a cash deal. I flew down to where the truck was for sale planning to either drive back home with the truck, or back to the airport to fly home.

Forget the leather - you'll appreciate it every time you don't burn your legs in the summer.
