looks nice, that was a clean 86 though!

[Davesvt2000]

Nice..

Do you mind me asking what you paid for it ?

[Raven34]

:agree: WOW. Your old winter beater looked niiice, but your present winter "beater" looks awesome. I like the personal touches you've done to make it yours, especially the black instead of chrome steps and lowering the rear for that leveled look and easier bed access. oh and removing the stickers. COOL TRUCK :cool:

[CBT]

Nice truck, Joe :beer:

[TAKEDOWN]

Nice truck and I'm sure you'll make it look even better!

[Pops]

I saw this truck last weekend and it is a nice one. Good find Joe!

[fastblackmerc]

SWEET Joe!

[Vortex]

Hell, your old one was nice enough, this one is also a beauty!

[babbage]

As always Joe very impressive. You cleaned that truck up considerably! I bet with a tune and a few engine mods it'll take your CV!?

My buddy just got a nice used 05 F150 Lariat - I want one too.
Yours is a very nice truck. Any undercoating or oil spays to frame for winter?

Hey Joe--Now that's my mans Joe's Panther truck--for sure--I must say I like what you did... I kinda figured you would anyway--and am sure there is a lot more to come knowing you---it truly looks better all black like your CV...
