Hey Guys,
A couple months ago, I asked some questions in regard to buying my company's truck as my own (we sold the company). Well, I basically lost a game of Paper/Rock/Scissors to my buddy/business partner and she's not in my driveway.
Now I have "finance approval" from my wife to step up my search in a little higher price range. I'm after an F350 - Crew/Longbed SRW (or the right Dually) in the +/-50K mile range. One other thing is a must, I want the 3.73 rear.
I'm pretty sure the specs were printed on the door sticker of my old truck, but do any of you know how I could get that info off the vin number? I'd like eliminate any 4.11's before I drive to look at them, and I feel like that is information that would be easily confused over the phone.
Also, I plan on looking at Carfax reports for those I'm really serious about. Any cons I should know about in regard to them? I imagine they're worth the 10 bucks, just curious if anyone doesn't trust them for any reason - you never know.
Any advice at all is appreciated... (besides, BUY A 7.3!)
Thanks for the help.
