20436 Miles...

Hey guys, I just had to post this. My wifes uncle went to the turkey shoot with us tonight(we actually go every weekend),except this time he drove his truck instead of his jeep.The part that I HAD to share is,his truck is a '99.5 F-250 SuperDuty crewcab of course with the 7.3 Powerstroke,and it only has 20436 miles on it!!(can we say still brand new?).There can only be a few of these trucks out there with this low milage. When I walk by or get around this truck I all but get a woody...(sorry...lol),anyway...I thought I would share this story....

That is low miles, and sitting in his garage? That would make a good start for someone that wants to have a truck like we have. I sure would like to see pics of this truck, body, engine, interior. Does he know what he has?

My truck had 7600 +/- miles on it when I bought it in '06. It was an old guy that bought it to pull his camper. He hardly had the chance to, they took his license because of his eyesight. The miles put on it where by his wife to grab groceries and to church.

Got 175,000 on it now. I sold the original motor (because of the low mileage/high $) and built one. Then another, and another. Current motor has ~10,000 miles but has only the single H2E and milder injectors.
