Nice truck, I wish mine was a long bed. I would like a 4x4 too but since I live in the city there is no NEED for one.

picked up a 06 F350, V10 so now the truck frame is outside and the garage is maxed out. Decided to do the bed and the cab next to free up some space. Couldnt bring myself to keep the 06 F350 outside :D
