Congratulations! I've only been looking for one of those for about 5 years, so only 23 to go!Today I used my truck to bring home my newest treasure (truck). I'll start a build thread tomorrow when I can take more/better pictures and give more details. I've wanted a crew cab dually for 28 years now so I'm extremely happy that I finally got one
Today I used my truck to bring home my newest treasure (truck). I'll start a build thread tomorrow when I can take more/better pictures and give more details. I've wanted a crew cab dually for 28 years now so I'm extremely happy that I finally got one. This is going to be built into my tow rig. I was thinking of what to name it last night after I made the deal on it. I was going to use my second choice and call her Covid since I used my covid "stimulus" check to pay for most of it. Instead, I had a friend confirm that my first choice is really a better name. Due to all of the money that she'll suck out of my wallet, I'm going to call her Ex Wife. I even ordered a vanity plate off of Ebay that say it. We only run rear plates in Kansas so I can still run this one on the front. Just for teasers, here's a pic while loading her, one on the road back to my garage, and one at my garage getting ready to unload her.

Thanks. I hope it doesn't take you as long as it did me. Honestly, I've had my eye on this one for 12 years, but I'll get into that more in the build thread.Congratulations! I've only been looking for one of those for about 5 years, so only 23 to go!
Thank you. It even looks a little bit like Tank. It will not be a quick build. First, I'm going to get it back on the road after 18 years of sitting. Now you're starting to understand the money out of my wallet comment behind the name.Yes! Nice find!!! Definitely looking forward to following your build!

True, but you know how an Ex Wife just keeps demanding more money. I'll have to decide what gets priority in order to drive it.But I get the feeling you're going to try to do it right the first time too.
I found out that my F250 needs new batteries. It's probably been getting harder to start, but I didn't notice. Yesterday and today, the engine barely turned over fast enough to start. My voltmeter still said 12.4 volts (yesterday) and it would start just like always after it ran for 15-20 minutes. I looked at the batteries and they were made in 12/14 so they're almost 6 years old. Yep, it's time. And after I just bought my Ex Wife last night. The one and only good point is that it's still fairly warm. Another month or so and it would be too cold for it to start at all.
Good thing I still have a charge account at the local Car Quest. They may cost more, but at least I can still get new batteries without having to pay for it all right now.But of course! It said "but what about me? I still need attention!"
