The roof has so many dings, scratches and scrapes, it is sad. Have yet to break the rear window getting stuff up there but no longer have a window washer spout!

06 Ford F 250 Crew Cab 4x4 (wish it was a 350, will add air-bags) Traded my 99 F-350 SRW Supercab 4x4 for it. Both are Diesel trucks. Loved 7.3L swore I would never have a 6.0. Now that I have driven a 6.0 more than just a few miles, I love it and am glad that I got it. The secret to the 6.0 trucks is not to through a super aggressive power chip at it without putting in headstuds and deleteing the EGR system. The transmission is freakin awesome. For a work truck I would never go back to drive a Gas powered truck. I haul too much. I dunno how suma yall do construction out of some of the rigs you drive unless all you carry is 200 lbs of tools in the back seat or trunk. The 6.o diesels got a really bad reputatino because of the early ones, Ford has fixed all those, and by the release of the 05-07 trucks the problems were pretty decently taken care of.
For doing nothing but construction out of, I would prefer a contractor bed on the truck. But it is also my daily driver, so that would not be practical.

2007 Silverado HD2500 extended cab. I took out the rear seat and built a platform for my compressor, chop saw and table saw. Under the platform I keep folding horses, air hoses and framing nailers. In the rear, a Reading space saver body, powdercoated inside and out. Custom welded lumber/ladder rack.
Tried to post a photo, but site says I havnt enough posts to post a photo!?!

sounds cool. I just hope you got a wt model and not the fully loaded leathered and optioned out $40k+ truck only to rip it all out. Im thinking of selling my fully loaded 2500hd cuz i hate to get it dirty.
It's "Hughjazz", not Hugeass, Fungus (Sorry, I couldn't help myself Fungku).
That was the last great looking Superduty Ford in my opinion. I can't stand the new front end for the trucks & van.

I'm actually in a small town 25 miles north of calgary Alberta.
I fell in love with the truck when I saw it. The xl work truck grill and lights are my favorite of all. I would have paid extra for it. When the tires are all used up it will be recieving a 4" lift and 37" tires.
On a side note. I find I like the '08 and up XL superduties. only the xl though. They are sooo ugly I am drawn to them..
