The one every one wants to see:

Low and reverse are opposite each other like the big trucks, which is really nice. I'm not sure how I feel about that 2011+ front bumper.

I would show you what I worked on today, but photobucket is freaking out. Something to do with uploading pics off my phone and putting them here on my computer. You have to see the picture because words can't describe it. :lol:

I thought something looked different. I don't care for the black grille but its a sharp truck.

A smart phone and a super duty? I don't even know who you are anymore!

I am curious though Caleb...did the truck come with a flatbill?

I'd rather have a stock grille and a Ranch Hand, but what am I going to do? :roll:

I'll be fighting that stereotype for a long time :lol: I want factory tires and rims badly. I'd never tint windows myself, but I guess I like it. Now I just have to figure out how to get the smell of peach Skoal out of the interior. Thank you previous owner! :roll:

Observe the 7 scotch locks and approximately 50 yards of wire. That is the remnants of a cob job on 3 pillar gauges, 2 sound systems, and a cob-azz cell phone charger in the console. When they ran out of butt splices, they resorted to stripping 1/4" of wire without cutting it and wrapping another wire around the bare spot. Wad on 12" of electric tape and they called it a day.

Philip is that bad enough to break fingers? :lol:

Serves you right for buying a ferd! :lol: If I had known you were going to off the dodge I'd have made a deal with you on those wheels. I'm ready to ditch the beauty rings and go with aluminum rims. I've been looking here and can't find anything.
You can still come to SOP, but you have to park down the road and walk up. At least a newer dodge we can tolerate. ;)

Pete, I seem to have a nose for them. I'll keep an eye out and if I can find a set, I'll let you know.

Dar, that's good to hear. Dad's has treated him more than fair.

The key to keeping a 7.3 P/S running is clean clean oil and fuel, running dirty oil will take the HP oil pump out quick.
