When the 6.0 came out, I wanted one. It made more power. Then A buddy of mine that works at ford, has for many years, told me to wait for the little issues to get resolved in the following years models. I still hear bad things but that is usually what is spread around anyway. People usually don't talk about good things. It is not in the human nature.

Bill, that was cool. I really liked the fan that was encouraging the truck to keep going.

And they look damned cool. Very nice styling, IMHO. Especially in the longbed extended cab.

Let the super duty/ old body style debate begin!

I like the 78-79 body, followed by the 99-06 super duty body.

I agree with ya there on styling!

One thing I really like on the 99 and newer is the way you sit in them. Way more comfortable for me than my OBS.

So have any of the v10's been put into older pickups??

I love the OBS trucks. Im lookin for another one, but my 04 interior is much nicer. I actaully looked at one today. It was on 38s, but when i crawled under, no t-case. It either used to be a two wheel drive that someone put a front axle in, or it was 4x4 and that had driveline problems and had a 2wd tranny layin around. Other then that it was super clean, but 6900 was to much.lol

I like the OBS too, I'd own one if I ran across a clean one.

That's good, I wasn't asking for any, nor do I need it.

Uh, but thanks though..I think.
