Good morning everyone.
Congratulations on your Expo Gerry, sweet ride!
Sorry but right now I don`t know of a decent 53-56 F100 for sale, if I did find one around here distance would be a problem for you.

Morning Fellas...Its cold...sewer pump-out is freezing up...Yay.

I can't say that I would want to be wearing flip-flops all year round, but I would like to escape this double digit negative temperatures due to its harshness on everything.

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

Evening everyone. Been a while since I've been on. Have my inlaws and my mother up for Christmas. My small 2 bedroom duplex has 5 people and 4 dogs, 3 large and 1 small. Still, my house is quite full. On the plus size our attached neighbours are gone so we can be as loud as we want. Down side is, its and extra driveway I've been shoveling. Along with our neighbour not attached to us is gone as well so I've been shoveling his driveway because I have my truck parked in his driveway while he is gone.


I got a battery charger from my inlaws, and apparently (its still in their vehicle) I got my father in-laws old chop saw as well. We didn't give much this year because I almost have my snowmobile paid off so we have been tight on our spending budget so I can pay it off hopefully by March .


And then comes the engagement ring... its going to most likely be over $5000 because it has to be custom made...


Anywho... After the engagement ring, I will finally get the lift kit for my truck!! Now which kit I buy depends on the following question I have for you guys.


Right now I travel roughly 1100km to visit my mom and my inlaws, also we do a lot of our shopping because everything is so much cheaper in Winnipeg and there is soooo much more to choose from. When we take my F350, with our large dog, small dog and everything that cant freeze, the cab of my truck is quite tightly packed. Now in 2ish years when my girlfriend and I are married and having kids, we have 2 or 3 of them planned, I don't know how we are going to fit everyone and everything in the cab of my truck. So, with that being said, in 2016 when Ford redoes their Super Duty trucks with a larger cab, should I be thinking about trading my truck in on a new one or should I just get more creative on trying to fit everything/everyone in my current truck? I could always go back on an F150 but I don't know how I could be happy with an F150 after having my F350? A coworker of mine has two 90 pound dogs and 3 little kids (all under 2 years old) and he fits them all in his F150 but they have a larger cab... Anyways what do you guys think?

I`ll keep my eyes open if you are willing to travel anywhere to get the truck you want, let me know what exactly you are looking for and your budget....you never know what may pop up.
It wasn`t quite as cold as what they said it would be here either John but it has dropped all day.

Keep your truck, you would be surprised how much you can stuff in the cab. I also have a topper on my truck which I think is great. You also be surprised how warm it stays in the back in the winter. We travel 4 hours and have not had any of our personnel stuff freeze.
