Just heard from Woodhouse Ford, my baby has arrived!!! I'm going to drag the wife in (leg brace and all) in on friday to do the acceptance inspection and financing paperwork, then I'll go in and pick her up saturday morning. I'll get pics up as soon as I can. I may not sleep for the next few days..............

 

Congradulations. I just have one question.......after she's broke in will I be able to see the tire smoke here in GI???? It's OK Pat.....just know I'd do the same!!!!!!

 

Tire smoke??? There may be some of that but I am hopeing for a thick cloud of diesel smoke...

Congrats Pat. You will love it.

 

I'm going to go nuts just waiting to pick it up on saturday!

 

Woo Hoo! I hope you can make it 'til Saturday...

Pat thats the page you uploaded your gallery in. I checked your gallery in your user profile. Can I say WOW. Very awesome truck. So is your red one trded in? Good Luck an enjoy your awesome truck..

 

Ooops! Sorry, I've been a little distracted since the truck showed up! I kept the red 97, since I wouldn't have gotten anything for it, and it still runs good. I'll drive it to work for a while to keep the miles down on the -250.

 

When an if we have a GTG you should drive your truck to it. Id love to see it up close an personal. Man I bet you like that new truck smell. Theres nothing like it. I bet Woodhouse was busy.Saturday is always a busy day. So is it everything you expected. Have fun.

 

Great looking truck Pat!

 

Yeah, the next time we have a meeting, I'll bring her! For some reason (mainly because I am a buffoon!) I forgot to order the upfitter switches! I was thinking that they came with the tow command! I'll have to add them. Otherwise, I am totally in love with her!

 

That is sharp.

 

Does it fit in the garage if not curses

Me and my wife just built a new house so we could get our toys in the garage. My last truck sat out in the weather for almost 4 years. Winter sucked!!! having to scrape the windows every morning box filling up with snow

 

Congrats. She looks great Pat.

 

I haven't tried to see if she'll fit in the garage yet. I know it won't go in length wise, but I'm worried about the height! If we ever get around to building, I'd already planned on a garage about 28 feet deep, with a ten foot door! I hate leaving it outside!
