Welp...long story short I had wanted a tourmaline blue/tan PSD C350, and hadn't seen anything that I would consider, and was in my price range, I found the C150 and really liked it, then 3 months later found the C350 PSD twin somewhat local and in my price range/condition i wanted. Now...i'm looking to try to lower/throw 33s on it, but I'm worried about hitting the cross members and such, and throwing off drivetrain angles, might be more headache than it's worth.
The vehicle was earmarked as an extra truck/staff vehicle to transport my disabled brothers when I wasn't around. The truck is a little big in it's current size to use for what I want. The capacity is great, but the size for a 5'2 chick to get up into daily isn't!
I found a local E-350 that might fit the bill better, and i just sold my Corvette, buying a commercial property by the end of the month, etc. So...might be a smarter idea to "downgrade" to a smaller vehicle.
The truck is in pretty good condition, has a bit of rust starting on the rear quarters, slight bit of rusting on the gutters, in the door jams, etc. The only thing I did to the vehicle after i bought it from Brian (trckmagik) was remove running boards (damn rust promoters) and throw a billet grille/steps on. The rear interior pieces were taken apart by Brian and I haven't gotten around to remaking them since being home from Iraq, been bussssssy!
So..heres a few pics/links.

The tires are in good condition, rides good, etc. The truck mechanically is pretty good and has been an alternative DD since I bought it. Brian did a few mild upgrades to it, but mostly stock. Wheels look sharp, and the hight/stance of it catch eyes, had a few newer superduty guys stop me in parking lots and check out the same suspension/wheels...theya bit first
.
I personally like the look/stance without the running boards..but to each his own, i removed them and have all hardware, so could always put them back on. I still have the painted-to-match grill and that would go with it, might leave the steps on too if someone wanted them.
I did notice some excess squeeling the other day as i parked it coming from the engine, may be the belt or idler pulley or something..i'm gonna check that out within the next few days.
Let me know if anyone is interested, I can get more pics easily, these are all I have currently with different angles. it does have some blemishes around it, not perfect, but it's a VERY sharp truck, and is a sweet ride![]()
I'm asking 8000 OBO...let me know, I don't need to get rid of it, I love having it...but, guess we'll see
