I'd love to But the beast was dripping oil out the rear main big time new years day at LHC ,So I got new oil pan/rear main/valve cover seals to install ,but no time until next week ...It is close but as bad as it was it's still a bad idea as I'm afraid I may toast the rear bearings due to the leak ...I'd roll the stocker...lol... but it needs to run to go tow shopping .

Got the bow. It's full 4 doors...

I would say buy my dads truck but it's in Michigan. He has been trying to sell an 89 f350 dually 460 5 speed. All set up for trailer already. Less than 100,000 original miles. Really clean for around $3,000ish. Tires are almost brand new on the rear
