Thank you, I'm gonna take her out tomorrow. It's getting down into the 40's at night now so I got to enjoy it while I can. Been messing around with it all day today and she's looking good and ready to go!

She wasn't as ready as I thought she was. My 20 year old Myco decided to digest a wheel bearing about half way to the lake. So we spent half the day repairing it on the side of the road. Note to self.... carry a spare set of bearings, oil seal and grease gun for just such occasions. It's a wonder we didn't loose the wheel. Patched it up enough to get her home but wound up cutting new threads on the spindle and had to replace the hub.Come on spring!

Thank you, I'm still tickled to death about the deal I got on it. The guy I bought her from gave 34k for it in 2013. He is a great guy and knew he could get more for it. But like his add said "he really didn't need the money" He was loaded!!!

I'm a craigslist junkie. My tow rig in the picture was bought off craigslist to. Got a deal on it for 8k. It's a 2006 king ranch f 250. That clattering ole 6.0 liter has 318.000 thousand miles on her. She leaks a little but don't burn any oil.and pulls great. One owner vehicle with good service records. But I did have to replace ball joints,bushings and tie rod ends under the front, and rebuild the turbo. Just needs a steering gear now to drive like new. To cheap to give the asking price for a new one.
