Longbed or shortbed? You should be able to find a white 08 longbed with tailgate and rear bumper for around $1000. You'd just need to paint it to match. The 08 bed will fit the 99. If it's a shortbed, your search will be much more difficult.

Hunter Scott Bounds was born at 4:09 pm, CST. Mom and baby are doing good. They are both resting right now and I am preparing to take everyone out for a steak dinner to celebrate.

Cris, you walked us through a hurricane and now a baby. You rock!

Congrats Scott, and tell the kids who are now parents congrats as well.
That had to seem like forever while she was in labor. I can only imagine how agonizing that was for you. Glad to hear all is well.

And of course a special thanks to Cris for keeping us up to date with the goings on.

She's already told us that story. Her face turns red and she looks for the nearest exit.

We've got wind gusting to 40 here today too. Supposed to be like this all day. Makes it kind of hard to enjoy the 73 deg. weather.

The guys he was talking to knew almost nothing about diesels so he didn't come off looking too funny. LOL.

Lisa- Glad you fixed Randy's jeep! It would be great if you could talk him into a big truck like ours!!! Don't you love when chicks pull up and expect to see a guy driving our big trucks, I just smile and wave when they see me instead of Troy. lol..

lol, Cris your description of Troy trying to talk diesels made me crack up. He was trying to talk it up in front of his buddies, and you sit back and tell him what to say and save the day. Hilarious.

Cris you need to come visit me up in Iowa sometime. Your truck would be a show stopper around here.

liftedgrocerygetter question about your aviator, is that picture of you or your lady?

That IS liftedgrocerygetter herself.

I'm her lady.

hahah.

Ok so we all know that Scott got what he wanted for Christmas. Curious what the rest of you asked for?

You guys will applaud this, but I actually asked for a DP for Christmas this year. Lets see if it actually happens. I might be shopping for a tougher TC in January.

Plus they say they have a 2 year warranty on it.

The second truck is also a 99 F350 with 7.3L, but I haven't spoken with the place it's at yet. I'm still not quite set on everything here.

I do like the black paint with slight black tinting that the first truck, that has the wrecked bed, has.

And the back porch thermometer says its 40 degrees outside....Snowing in AZ, and snow is melting OVERNIGHT here...

Hey, what's all this on topic stuff doing in here??? LMAO!!!!

Lisa, don't worry about the TC unless you have a rattler, then it's probably a good idea. But I'd say get the tranny mod'ed first, then go for the DP. It's much better (and cheaper!!) to do it that way.
