Well time has come to say good bye, the old girl took me to lots of awesome places and created lots of great memories. But she is getting older and with 2 small kids I simply don’t have the time to give her the TLC she needs. She runs great and super smooth.

Don’t do it! Those kids will be big enough for some wrench-spinning before you know it!
 
Totally agree with the "don't do it" sentiments, unless you really need the $$$, there will come a point where having this truck with your kids will be a priceless experience.

That said, if you do sell, this is a helluva deal for someone. Do an HG/top end rebuild and be set with a nicely built truck for a long time.

yeah I would very likely regret it, it is a lot more capable than my balls can handle! Plus it's really perfect size! But life changes and I can't do the axle job and get the oil pump gasket replaced anymore. The engine is running so smooth and really good power I don't want to do the HG job. If anything I would rebuild it 4.6 which isn't that much more money than the HG if I can get help with getting the engine out. Sadly I just don't time for it and poor thing just sits there and run to costco once a great while.
 
Mr. Ball,

How do the seats and dash look under the covers? How long have the Kings been installed?

Thanks,
DR

The kings has been in for about a year I think. At the most 2. During that time I put on about 4,000 miles around town and couple of small trips. So they should be sufficiently broken in.

The seats are cloth and are in great condition, I’ll take some pictures without the cover. The dash has 1 crack right in the middle of the hump where most people get their first crack.
