Default Moving up.

Just wanted to pop in and say i will be selling the f150, and my other vehicle. I am purchasing a 97 f350 7.3l. Truck has 180k on it with a rebuilt trans with in the last year. Truck is in overall good shape, and will be a lot better for all of the wood work i do, plus get better gas mileage then the 5.8 i currently have.

Not my first choice in color, but she will do and the color is growing on me, doesnt seem very common

Great looking truck you got there. The light blue/navy blue (or maybe it's black??) combo is awesome.

Yeah. That color works on that truck, I like it. Sometimes I like certain colors on certain vehicles that I wouldn't normally like. Grabber blue on Mustangs, for example, looks awesome... but I wouldn't really be much of a fan of it on any other vehicle haha. You definitely have a unique paintjob there
