99 1/2, F350, 7.3 PSD, 4wd, mnl trnsf case & hubs, srw, 4dr, 8' bed, 5th whl., brk cntrl.

I just rebuilt the frnt end, linkages, ball j's, axle u j's, wheel hubs, seals etc. (me), new Mich Ms2's (sears), and alignment (ford), ready for winter.

Never actually owned one, but I spent enough time inside a Mack, International, Volvo, Peterbuilt and Freightliner...

The First Real Truck I ever drove was a 1966 Diamond TA, rebuilt it, a bulldozer, and a road grader first, (had to make a road up the side of a mountain) then pulled a motorhome from Nevada mountains to Yucca Valley CA. I think the only "suspension" that thing had was the springs in under the seat. LOL

Had a diesel suburban . sold it a few years back awesome gas mileage but when something broke it cost alot to repair.

wife and I are going to be looking for a truck within the next year looking at diesel and gas both. not sure which way we will end up going. but it will be a GMC or Chevy only. 8)

Those '06 Super Duties are some sharp looking trucks.  The F150s back then were nice looking too, now they are hideous.
