Picked Up Half of My New Truck Today.

[StreamlineGT]

I bought a new business truck today, to replace two other trucks I have/had. I traded in my F-350, and once this truck is in service, I will sell my E-350. I still have to wait 5 or so weeks until the body is ready, but I'm going to drive it in the meantime, as I traded my daily driver in.

2009 F-450 4x4 Crew Lariat C/C.

It will be fitted with a Reading Spacemaster 57, painted to match, keyless entry, and some other equipment. Here is a cell phone pic of the display body they had at the outfitter.

I'll post completed photos in a month or so.

damn you must make some real money to need a $50k work truck

 

[straightliner1]

Which rear gear did you go with? 4.56, 4.88, or 5.13? I've heard those 4-fittys like to drink

With the body and Ford ESP it came to just a tick under $75K. Ridiculous, I know, but getting rid of my daily and my work van, and taking advantage of 0% for 60 mo made it well worth the investment. At least that is what I tell myself. I do OK at what I do, and living a town over from one of Hartford's most affluent suburbs helps a lot. I am by no means a wealthy man, but being a one man shop, with no overhead, I feel that I can afford something like this. I have no "shop", or office staff, or anything. Just me and a truck. Might as well make myself comfortable. I also have a daughter, and another on the way. Taking two kids to daycare in a van is impossible, and not ideal in a regular cab pickup. Again, all things I tell myself to make me feel better about it. Thanks for the compliments.

That would make a kick ass camper platform.

Sweet!

That 0% financing is awesome. We did the same thing for my wifes Mazda 5.
