That's also got a dumping rack body and dual rears on it though. I agree that it should be going for like 12 or so however.

Mine isn't exactly perfect. I'll probably have 1,000$ into it before I have it the way I want it to look. And I just want it to look stock.

Edit: I bluebooked the truck dad's looking at assuming it is XL and in fair condition. Bluebook value is $15,420. To me that means that 13,000 or so would be reasonable for it. My truck is worth 9,960$ according to Bluebook so I figure trucks are worth about 2k less than Bluebook right now.

It's like a flatbed, but it has steel sides you can take off if you want to.

Edit: Found a picture of one. Picture that body on an 01 7.3

Weird. What did he go in for? I haven't kept up with the thread so I missed it. One of mine went in yesterday to get a hemotoma removed from his ear. Apparently, he whacked it on something and burst a blood vessel or vein. The blood filled the floppy part of his ear and made a good part of it really puffy instead of flat. It was about the size of a small chicken egg, but much flatter. He's almost back to normal, but has to go back Friday to get the bandage off his ear. The doc wants to do it to check out how he's healing.
