Thanks!

You've really done well maintaining that truck! Would have no idea of the mileage just by looking at it.

Thanks, but man, it does as it drives down the road, squeaky as can be! WD40 helps out some, but until it pukes its guts I'll still be driving it squeaks and all.

If you're ridin' and it squeaks bro, could be bushings or ball joint... Just tossing my 2cents. I'm up there with ya on my '01. Just hit 260k this week. New ball joints just installed and mine no more squeakys... . But if she's still ridin' on 300k, that truck will last you the rest of your life. Gotta love a Ford. 👍👍

Fairly new upper control arms and semi old lower ball joints, probably need to replace them, but it's just a old truck that moans and groans lol.

Here's my baby, paid off two years ago and last year is when I started the work. 2001 With 134k bought her with 71k back in 2008. Currently sits covered up with no motor its in pieces waiting to go to the machine shop.
Current work done 3.73 gears with a locker. Monroe load adjusters in rear with an added leaf. All Moog, all the way across the front. Flownaster added to the stock exhaust which has been all tore out as of this last weekend. Cold air intake. In a few months the motor goes back in with lots more goodies.

Unfortunately I have NO pictures of how my truck used to look. This was taken last Saturday at my second job. A bad cell pic, sorry. Second one is how it looks in the front. I am going to get it back to it's old condition ASAHP. It's been the most dependable thing I've ever driven, truck or car. It has a new engine and front suspension all in the last month or so. Drives like new again.,,,,98

Peeling paint and all. I have plans to get that fixed as well.
