Bwhahaha. The front sits in the weeds (for now)....but I think the back is just as high or maybe a little higher than my Ford was. I know it was a big step up there when I was putting my toolbox in this morning (oh.....I'm 6'4" guys). Once I level it out I think it will have a nice stance....You're probably right about it lasting as long as Blue. However, Blue is on her thrid motor and third tranny. Do you think ANY new pickup would outlast it?

Sounds like a descent truck. Might have to check it out. The rear end noise might or might not be anything. Who noes.. You got to get pics up. I got to see that new truck off yours. Oops I forgot you can maybe post them on this site. Oh another thing where is a good place to eat in Central City. I am always going to stop there to eat. But not sure where to go. You probably dont eat there just curious. Ok another thing Im guessing Central City at one time had a Ford dealer in town. I say this because there are really a lot off Fords in that town. Usually the case when there was a Ford dealer at one itme although it could be a long time ago. Ask your Dad about this if your not sure. Maybe we could meet up some time if Im down your way. Please feel free to PM me if you want to go through the forum. Hope we get some mebers to keep posting I seen there quite afew new ones.

The eating thing.....actually when I'm working for the neighbors in the summer we usually go into Central for dinner. The cafe on the east side of town by Bomgaars is a pretty good place to eat.....pretty cheap too. The Waffles N More (by 30 & 14) isn't bad either. We went in there once. There's always Dairy Queen and Wendy's. They also have a Subway. As for the Ford dealer, I'm not sure. My dad would know....both my parents went to high school there.

I'll try and steal the camera and get some pics up sometime soon. I might wait until I have it all "tricked out" though......and no, not like they do on MTV....I do it the right way!!!

Just take a picture of old blue, and oops, get the Dodge in the shot... 
My dad was a life-long Ford guy... I learned to drive in his 75 Highboy that he bought brand new, it was a worn out rust bucket by the time I was old enough to drive. I still loved it however. Dad bought an 01 Cummins with a six speed about 4 years ago, he said he'll never go back to Ford.

Well I won't say I'll never go back to a Ford......but.......it's nice to actually have some power for once........the only thing I don't like about it is the "one tire fire" I've got going on.....

Haha. It'll take me a while to get used to the power, but once I do I'll go easy on her. Hopefully anyway. I can't really go easy on Blue. I've been dying to know who would win that race....Blue or a Hemi Dodge.....The roads need to get better so I can get to the highway with Blue and race my brother......
