Shoot your son and your buddy. I've been looking at trucks lately and have determined that those square bodys are the last good trucks made. I've owned a few, been looking at 01 and newer, all the way to a2018 no freakin way.
I'm now scouring Craigslist in southern states to find a clean D 150 or 250. Should have never sold my 83.
My son wasn't the problem, he actually takes really good care of it when he had it. My buddy is a different story, It took me days of changing out rat rod parts for the original stuff. Every time I seen it I regretted selling it too him so much. Now it's back in good hands. If I can I'm going to do a frame off on it and fix it the way it should be. Either cummins or a 440 with a/c. My son will end up with it when I move on and he'll keep it just the way I have it.
