Well I bought this truck New to me on July 15, 2009. I was in the market for a 1/2 ton pickup. I wanted a GM or Ford. (*Not brand bashing just my opinion) I didn’t like the way the Tundras were laid out and not a huge fan of the Dodge’s interior :dunno:

Well with that said I started my hunt. I looked and looked and all the Chevy 1500s I looked at were out of my price range or super high mileage. I wanted to stay around $17,000 at my MAX. I found a nice 03 F150 gorgeous interior and exterior but they wanted about 3 grand more for it than it was worth IMO. So I let it slide. I didn’t exactly have the money for it at that time anyways. ANYWAYS, I came across this Truck on ebay cruising the internet one night and it was up in Augusta, GA about 2 hrs away from us. So I took a day off work and headed up there with the old man. They had this truck orginally listed for $14,900. It had 57,000 miles on it on a 2004 FX4 Supercrew 5.4L Triton V8. Well all in all I walked out the door with it for $12,000. I was a little mad at the old man for not letting me make the offer he offered about $1000 more than I would have :fume:

Well I got the truck and first I added some Xtreme Bed liner that a guy at church does on the side. It’s great stuff! Well here is a list of the stuff I’ve already done to it.
