I got rid of an 03 super cab with 110k on her, dual slowmasters(ahhhh the headache). No pics though sorry. She had a 4.6 first v8 I owned. Lotta memories with her.
Went 2 months straight to the camp on weekends and always had to take 2 vehicles for 4 ppl (I am 6'2" 275. I am one of the smaller people in my group of friends). I needed a bigger truck and on top of that was getting closer to asking my fiancée to marry. I wanted a family truck too. So 2 septembers ago I started looking and my 07 had one owner 40k miles for $23k. I talked him down to that price all said and done with extended warranty plus I got $6k on my old truck.
Now she has 70k miles only because my fiancée used to live to where it was about 60 miles roundup to go visit her. Now she Is 10 minutes away and next April she will be in the same house.
I absolutely love this truck. Pulls my boat great. Driven her till the wheels fall off or I need a higher towing cap.
07 Lariat SCrew 6.5' Bed, Deep Blue pearl 2" level w/ 275/70-18 BFGs.
OP here is a pic u will enjoy. I couldn't get ride of this one ever though.

Yea, that 6.5' bed was hard to find used. I hate loading my 4 wheeler with the gate down. The previous owner said it was 2 big a truck and she traded it for a smaller one. They pulled the carfax and vin sin thing and all service was done at dealership, another plus.
Thanks for compliments on the 64-1/2. Took me and my old man 4 years to restore. Still has the original straight six, but that might become a 302 this year. All the work was done by us except for the paint. Gotta thank DuPont for stocking the original colors too. Silver Blue Metallic.

Agreed...that's a great looking fleet you have! I was considering one with the 6.5' bed when I bought mine, but was concerned about fitting in the garage. I should have made the garage fit the truck.
Your Mustang brings back memories of a '66 hardtop with a 289 that I drove in the 70's (same color). It looks great.
