Well, I've been looking for a truck for a few months - I was looking for a good deal because it's not going to get a lot of use and it's not something I need - just something I want - and it'll make some projects around the house easier... Well, I found my new toy and I think I got a very fair deal. It needs a little bit of work to pass VA Inspection (the drivers door usually doesn't open from the inside and the windshield has a crack in it) but other than that, I think it'll be fine.<br /><br />I've been a Ford guy all my life, but I ended up with this little monster:<br /><br />

Keep a a good supply of brake pads on handy js. :p <br /><br />Never being short on vehicles, I've always wanted a pickup just to have around. Just never made the hurdle. I have a '94 2500 Burb with only 42k mi's on it. I hate paying $50 a month for something that just sits and collects dust most of the time. :mad:

Thanks for the comments everyone - those pictures are what the seller sent me so it's his wifes bike in the back - The truck didn't come with it.. :) <br /><br />I got it titled and registered this afternoon - so maybe I'll take it for a little spin tonight.<br /><br />Hey LubeDude - I was going to ask you about that - It's got 230000 miles - everything is stock. It's got the 5.7 350 in it. What kind of oil should I put in her?<br /><br />Thanks!
