My family is growing and I wanted an expidetion/tow rig. A new truck was not in the budget and I really did not like the new stuff anyway. Cummis was my first choice but the extra cab was not going to cut it with two kids.
My neighbor scrapped a F350 and had a KP 60 for sale, with tax returns coming I knew it would sell fast so I picked it up for $900. Next order of business was to find a mid 90's crew cab powerstroke 2wd. Took a few months but finally located a truck in Libby, Montana. Luckily my dad lives a few miles away and looked at it for me. Owner was asking $5500, I got it for $4000. Gave the old man $300 to drive it down to me and now its a project.
