For $74K I could get a new hay roller, pay off the tractor, and still have enough to get that heritage springer I've been a hankering for!

I can only imagine how much more it would be with the diesel and the Allison transmission.

Yep ... When I bought my 2012 Silverado it was more than I wanted to spend. It has things on it that I still don't ( or know how ) to use. Had I to do it all over again I'd have been happier if I could have replaced the 1995 Silverado with a brand new 1995 in 2012 ... a lot less "bells and whistles"

Mornin Al!

Larry, I love my 1999 F150. It is comfortable in every way, it just lacks a bit of power for heavier loads. I thought about a tuner for it but not sure that would give me the bump I want. My Pop suggested an engine swap but that's not as easy now as it was in the past, I assume.
