Exclamation Had to do it, time for a new truck.

Well, the little Mark LT wasn't cutting it for building the house and hauling the trailers, so we got a 2000 F-250 crew cab with the V-10. We also needed something a little larger for hauling water since we are on a holding tank until public utilities come in.

Here she is, the wife calls her Ruby. I don't know if I'll be modding this one any, probably just a spray in bedliner. It'll be hard to measure up with the ol' LT.

Hmm, I don't see where he got rid of the Mark LT.

I say he still has it.

Change the mirrors, at least, on this new one.
I was planning on looking into the mirrors, mainly for towing reasons.

and yes, I dropped the old one.

You didn't trade it in did you? I hope you sold it outright. What a shame, you're like a brother on here and you didnt' even consult us

Enjoy the truck, but I know you'll be missin the other. Hope you stick around, your truck was a monster. Even with that particular style supercharger it didnt handle towing too well?

Hehe, you're such a tool Josiah. Sorry, I shouldn't mess with people like this. When I say I dropped the F150 (in bold I might add), it means that I have a 2" drop in the front and a 3" drop in the rear.

Don't worry, the Mark LT is safe, and will probably be parked in the garage for most of the winter.

Sorry to mess with ya bud.

Sweet, another tool for the shed.

Sorry guys, I left it open because I felt like having a little fun today. The new F250 is the real deal though, we picked it up the end of September.

Hope ya'll can find it in your hearts to forgive me for messin' with ya.
