    I know the amount of cash that's coming with the truck so I have a better sence of what the trade is. With that said only thing I don't like is the fender flares(hopefully they are not cut out flares as mentioned) and the fact it's not a crew cab. Otherwise it's ODC.

    Your truck is one of a kind now Ricky with the super charger and alot of time and money was put in it. So it's a tough one. :birgits_tiredcoffee

    tough call ricky.

    unlike everyone else, i think the hood is sweet. it's different and looks clean. i do not like the flares, way out of place on that truck. bedliner the rockers would be a must. your current truck is ba and this truck is pretty sweet especially with the 7.3. that makes every deal tempting. good luck brother. and like everyone says it only being a scab instead of a screw makes it hard, but if you don't need the screw then i wouldn't worry about it

    Truck looks ok, I dont mind the flares, but the hood needs to go. Personally its lifted too much for my taste with too big of tires. The amount of mods it has, and what they are are great, but what I would be worried about is if it is a younger guy who owns it, this thing could be driven hard and ragged out. Younger people think that with a highly modded truck you automatically have a race car, but with a truck that modded youve got higher EGTs, Tranny temps etc... and there is a fine line of what it can handle, and what it should handle. At least with your truck you know th quirks and how its been driven.

    Thats a sweet truck, with pretty decent mileage, I would wonder why he is so eager to ditch it for a gasser. I know yours is sc'd and highly modded, but when you have a highly modded diesel why trade for something that is essentially the same? I can see trading it for a muscle car, a mercedes or something completely different.

    I think the flares would look better if the bottom had black bedliner on it.
