My truck is being built this week!

My truck is being built this week! *UPDATE!*

I'm so excited and jittery, the dealer just called and said that he has a VIN number and the build date was yesterday, which means it will hit the line sometime this week. Should be less than a month now until delivery.

 

Congrats, was it a Boy or a Girl?

 

Being as that it's mechanical in nature, I'm sure that it's female.

 

Cool beans, Shaggy. Mine is built, it's just sitting waiting for a ride. Hoping to have it in two weeks.

 

Thats got to be driving you two bonkers waiting for your truck to show up. I went half nuts just trying trying to find the right used truck.

 

Yeah, but getting the exact truck I want with absolutely no compromises is going to be a great feeling too.

 

Estimated delivery date is next Tuesday!imp:

Unfortunately because of my long commute and the fact that the dealer is 45 minutes from my house, I'll probably have to wait until the weekend to go pick it up. I would take a day off to go get it, but I need my wife to drive me to get it and to have her sign so her name is on the title, and she doesn't get as much vacation as I do.

 

That's going to be a looong week. rotfl

 

The wait really is a pain in the ass, my old man's F250 is being built this week, scheduled for delivery Mar 21. I cant wait to go pick it up, despite the fact that its a gasser.

 

Yeah, it's starting to get to me, even though it's only been 5 weeks and they said it would be 8.

I'm excited to see it; it's a new color for this year, I've only seen one other one this color in person and I've never seen one this color without the tan accent on the bottom, either in person or in pictures. I think it's gonna look cool. Still not thrilled about the tan interior, but what's a guy gonna do? At least the wood looks better with tan as opposed to grey.

 

What color?

 

It's called Dark Stone Metallic. It's a greyish brownish pearly sort of color. I really hope that it's not so brown that people say stuff like "oh your truck is the brown one, right?" That's the only thing I was worried about with it...

It looks more brown in the pic than in real life... I hope... It's been awhile.

 

Shaggy the UPS guy, "Ask what brown can do for you?". waytogo imp: rotfl rotfl

 

Oh man I hope I don't end up with a turd colored $45k truck...

 

This is closer to what it looks like in person...

 

On a related note, does the 550 start the 10 lug hubs or is that a conversion?

 

I see a Ford logo on the center cap of that wheel, so I'd assume it's stock.

 

Yeah, the flash of the camera kind of washes out the badge, so don't know if it is a 550 or 650, my guess is 650 but not sure?

 

No, the 650 is when it goes to the really big truck with the gas tanks under the doors.

I looked into it, the F550 does come with 10 lug wheels.
