Sold my 1994 Extended Cab this morning for $1,800. Just found a 1995 F350 Crew Cab ( 4 door ) for $1,500 with the 351W, in great running and physical shape, going to take a look tomorrow and possibly buy it.

For that price I doubt it but I could be wrong. What did you build that drive on stand with SCREW? I'm looking to build something like that.

Picked up a dash bezel from the jy cause mine is f'ed up. Kinda jimmy rigged to keep it on the dash right now. That plus the trim pieces, the one that says XLT above the glove box and the two for the bezel, was $16.

Got home about an hour before dark and found my new front trim pieces had arrived. Couldn't wait till tomorrow night, so I grabbed my head lamp and start working. Installed all new lights (did the headlights last week), new headlight bezels, and new grille. I decided to switch from chrome to black because I like the look better. Here's some pics I snapped just after finishing:

Going to clean the seat of my truck out today. It might have a brown stain where I sit. Got off at 6 a.m., went downtown to meet my Fiance' (Police Officer) and say good morning. Pulled into our normal spot in an abandoned parking garage and while waiting on her to arrive, I was was approached by two SWAT Team Members from the Sheriff's Office. Ran my tags, my license, questioned me about why I was meeting a police officer there, who she was, how long she has been a police officer, yada, yada, yada! I figured I better tell them about the pistol which was in plain sight and surprisingly, they didn't ask for it or pull me out of the truck. "Sorry to bother you, but you gotta leave the area.".
Why I got nervous, I have no idea other than the expectation of being drug out of my truck by SWAT and spread eagle on the ground. Lol. I leave out and drive one block up the street and there sits an armored sheriff's tactical truck, City Fire's bomb squad and a crapload of deputies. I called my Fiance' and her department has not been told one word about anything! Talk about professional courtesy. Turns out that today is some sort of National Day of Prayer for Law Enforcement and a bunch of "High Class" judges and others were coming in for this event. My Fiance' went and talked to the deputies and was told that the city cops were suppose to be working the perimeter of the event. Not one city cop in a city with a population of 440K people was informed about it! They called out the Fire Department and fail to notify the police. I wasn't pissed until I realized the total incompetence of the system!

It's made changing oil/fluids so easy!
I have also done a few lift kit installs on it and it works great!
