Will do. Probably will hold off on the thread until a lot of work is done since it will be a long process and the thread would get ridiculously long. I'm in grad school still, so work will be done on weekends and spare time only, and at my parent's house 6 hours away from school.

First question, how are you going to get the truck home?

Having it transported by an auto shipping company. Hopefully it all goes smoothly with the two flat tires and steering screwed up. The broker knows about that, I'll know more when I speak with the driver in the next few days.

Good deal Cartmanea, I think it's definitely a fixable truck!
Now Tom, havent heard back from the local Ford dealership, I'm beginning to think they may be a bunch of yahoos but if you go to your local ford dealership they can search national inventory to try and find you a 2010. Anyhow, let me know when you are ready for your new purchase.

cartmanea,
A good friend of mine owns a salvage company (with multiple locations), so when you get it I might be able to help with parts. Or, maybe connect you guys. Are you in Corvallis, or is that where you're going to school?
I also have a friend with transport company, but it looks like you've got that all figured out.

Yeah, I'm in Corvallis at OSU. Truck will be at my parent's house in NE Oregon. I found an '08 at B&R in Springfield that was a rollover, so I should get all the inner fender and core support along with the front axle and suspension. I'll probably just buy new body panels, because the chance of finding good condition white ones is slim.

And, not that I'll ever admit this in the other thread, I will be buying one with the PSD, even though they can find me a V10 truck. I'm addicted!!!
V10 is a lot cheaper to maintain as well.

I said cheaper to maintain, as in oil changes and such. Also, the 6.4L doesn't get the mileage your 7.3L does... without mods.
