    And... shocks are on! Took under an hour including getting tools out and cleaning up. I love power tools, impact made short work of the project.

    Oh yeah regarding the whole registration thing - I looked it up on the DMV site, it was extended to Nov 2020. So I am now expired but when I was stopped by the fuzz I was not, apparently. o_O it's now added into my maintenance schedule on the truck so I won't miss it next time around. Haven't needed inspection yet, that cycle starts Dec 2021. Yee haw.

    Well we're done skiing for the day. Everyone did a great job! The kids are really getting it. My wife did great and I got to do some runs by myself while the family took their lessons.

    Morning, peoplefaces.
    Diesel bug is nibbling again. But not a new one. I'm considering paying off the current truck and selling it, and finding a clean western pre-emissions diesel. Spent Sunday morning drinking coffee and browsing Craigslist postings from out that way and there's some nice low-mileage rust-free stuff out there. :anonymous:



    I meant of the frame, lol.

    Great idea. That era of truck looks great. Always exciting to see clean ones being used around here. Guy who does work for me on my truck has a nice Ford he uses to tow big equipment around and It’s a joy when he shows up with it!

    Last year, I could have hooked you up with a nice one. My dad traded in his 2007 Duramax for a newer model. It was garage kept, very well maintained and rust free since it didn't get driven much in the winter. It had 150k miles on it but no emissions crap.

    4 full doors? Or was it the extended cab with the 1/2 doors?
    I'm looking to get out of the full-size cab; it's mostly space I don't use, and the extra length is a pain when you're plowing. You wouldn't think that the extra foot or so would make a difference, but it really does.

    It's too late now, it was already traded in and actually, someone he knew found out where he traded it and snatched it up.
    It was extended cab with the suicide doors in the rear, 6.5' bed. He really only used it to plow the driveway in the winter and tow the 5th wheel in the summer. It was in really nice shape, especially considering it's age and being the northeast.

    Shrug. Story of my life; late to the party :laugh:

    Even if he still had it, I likely won't be looking seriously until summer, between paying off the current truck, getting hands on the title, and finding a buyer. So I wouldn't expect anybody to hang onto it that long anyway

    And you didn't even say hi... :pout:
    Yeah no frame pics.

    I fully support the pre-emissions diesel choice. 2nd gen Cummins 12v would be killer

    I wish my truck was an access cab at least, but would prefer 4 doors and a long bed. You can't store ANYTHING in this damn truck.

    I'd probably go 24v for the power bump, but I'd go 12v if the right truck popped up. The trouble with the 24v's is that you can pretty much rule out anything 99-02 because of the '53' block issues, and nobody can/will ever tell you if they've got a 53 block, lol.
    I started out looking at the 94-02 body style because I've always loved it, but the common rail 03-07's are pretty tempting. Lots of torque, better interiors...

    People think I'm crazy for seeking out extended cabs, but the full four doors are just wasted space for me. My back seat is plenty big enough and I still get a 6-1/2 ft bed.

    A year ago I would be in the same boat - but, maybe with a 6 ft bed I would make sleeping arrangements back there, but I really like the cab setup. Maybe a full size extended cab would fit like I just built in the full cab tacoma, though.

    Oh man, I am loving the crewcab. And I could care less about the tiny bed. A 6.5' bed would have been nice but whatever.

    If they can just figure out my intermittent check engine light, I'll be ok. It's at the dealer today.
