Only thing I dislike about those old Ford's is the miserable steering. The rack's always seem like sloop.

That is CARB compliant, seems many of the older diesel trucks in Communist state of California have been find their way to other areas dirt cheap.

The steering box has an adjustment to take up the slop from wear, and if it's beyond the adjustment spec Redhead make a great upgraded steering box that has lots of happy customers. Pushing 300k miles on my e99 7.3 running 35" MTs and I've never had the sloppy steering issue, seems hit or miss on what trucks had this issue.

Well sloppy steering to a guy used to quick ratio rack and pinion, might have that opinion of a perfectly fine 1 ton with a steering gear box and steering parellelagram or a y link set up

LOL I am betting its closer to 7k lbs ;) My EXT cab Short box 3/4ton is 69XX with me in it...

Still that looks like it has been taken care of, and should serve you well for tugging a e30 on a wagon around, its not a 5sp with about 300k on its it?? and if s0, you didnt buy that off a short guy with the last name of Titus did you......

I think you're right about the 7k lbs statement. This has 170k miles, auto w/ overdrive trans, and is a total virgin truck. The rear suspension has a set of air jackers that don't look like they came from the factory...probably to tow a boat.
I knew the POs. Nice old man and lady who liked to tow their little boat to the delta. Old man died of cancer and old lady asked if I'd help her sell the truck. I jokingly threw out a lowball offer of what cash I had in my pocket at the time, and the truck came home with me a week later.

1997 is the last of the SMOG-free California truck years, so this one is worth a pretty penny to the local boys.

I'll probably flip it though. I don't need it and quite frankly, it's too large for me.
I'll let the ranchers have it.

Yes. But have you seen what these are pulling in online? $15k is ULTRA conservative, and $25k seems to be what everyone is asking for a truck with similar specs and mileage.

Bought a huge truck on accident. I guess I'm a truck guy now. If anyone wants to do truck stuff and talk about country music, holler my way.

those frikin gays with their perfect nails and exquisite taste in clothing...makes me sick. And how spectacular their asses and abs are and how they are always around me in the locker rooms walking around naked and windmilling their thick, beautiful dongs right in my face. Hell, if I was a homosexual I'd probably love it!

Those damn gays. Always trying to make me into one of them.

Not to mention how they move into a city block and put in new lawns, renovate a old house, and make it look "fabulous" and increase home prices for their neighbors. Yea, f those guys. (/sarcasm)

6 of those 200w LED UFO lights hanging from the ceiling, and supplies to hang and swap to outlets from the simple ceramic bulb holders. Its nice to be able to see in there, those 6 150w flood bulbs that have been there since we bought the place was not cutting it lighting wise. Yes there is a lot of shit in there, most of it we are storing for my in-laws until they find a better place to put all their shit........

Picking up a 08 Grand Cherokee limited with the Mercedes om642 diesel tomorrow evening. It's got some miles, but dry as a bone underneath, no rust, garage kept and meticulously maintained.

Pretty excited about this one! Selling the Audi as well. Time to get away from the money pit and save some cash. After the Audi sells we're going to find a newer fuel efficient car for her and sell the Saab as well.

Just a couple more steps in the money saving direction after ditching credit cards this year and living in the positive side financially.
