    Cool My first truck!!

    its about time, i got myself a truck! 1999 F-150 Ext. Cab 4x4 w/ 100,013 Mi. Its hard to think i worked my ass off at a deli for 2 years and scrapped for 3 years to get a nice truck. Now im free, able to leave the house and go scrapping whenever. No more missing scrap deals due to not having a vehicle. Im not one of those stuck up brats who get bottle fed by their parents. If i want something i work for it. And i did. Hopefully there will be more pics this time with lots of scrap in the bed!! (btw, cost me $3,500 with unlimited mileage warranty for 4 years that covers engine, transmission, anything!!)

    Wow, thats a smokin deal if iv ever seen one! Like iv said in Gravitars thread, you'd never find one that clean with that milage for anywhere near 3500, especially with a 4 year unlimited mile warranty! Rotten chevys with 300k kms as is are goin for 4-5000. Its outrageous. Very nice looking truck man. Good for you and good luck!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Now just get that pesky back seat out and you could fit a washer and dryer and some computers in there.

    Super nice truck. One bit of advice, if/when you start pulling a trailer DO NOT pull a heavy load while in over drive. If you don't know what over drive is(not being a smart a$$) look it up. Pulling a load in over drive will tend to ruin a transmission. I wish I had that nice of a truck. Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    drive the crap out of it so you get a fresh motor before that warranty runs out.

    I agree, take the back seat out. Did that on mine and it really frees up a lot of room! Of course a young guy like you may want a back seat for the ladies. Do kids still use back seats like that? Idk the kids are all Facebook and Twitter nowadays.
