1997 F250xlt F27 with dedicated CNG option. Truck is a pile of parts right now!
My other ride is a 1997 hmc4 which was my first truck ever.
Could not figure out how to add pics yet.

Thank you very much! and thank you very much!

It's been good to me so I try and be good to it as well. I am just blown away with how well the 4r70 has been, never a slip or any signs of giving up. All I have done is changed the fluid and filter in the pan at 200k. It is very squeaky now and creaks, some wd40 has helped out some, but it is definitely showing/voicing its age.

I've always liked your truck, and the direction you chose to take it ...

At 108K and given the amount I drive it, I'm thinking my truck will easily outlive me

there's a 10th gen for you, look after her she'll look after you. I think the trans is weaker link, that's what I'm worried about most for the future.

not much on lowered trucks but yours looks pretty clean, I like the grille.

Thanks, I wish there was a better way I could tie in the headlights/emblems together. This arizone beige metallic isn't easy at all to get a theme going.

For sure! Thanks and it is a lightning grille, it ties in perfect with the lower valence imo.

it does tie in well. may be less conductive to a theme....but I have a thing for tan colored trucks for some reason. I think your truck ties in pretty good actually. the bit of chrome/silver and bit of black compliments her well, though I'd up the black myself. I bet she'd look real clean with no emblems, except I wouldn't wanna have to fill the holes with the condition she's in...

she is a unique looking truck. and kudos for keeping her in that shape with all those miles, she's mint. I love seeing people actually look after their trucks.

I think I had just clayed and waxed it and took it out for some shots. Just earlier this year I bought me a da polisher and spent a solid 3 days working on it. Wish I would have snapped some pictures of it right after.
