Here's the problem  Peg asks which I would like to do. 1) get a new F150 short bed-5.4L--IE--DUMP THE BLAZER!!!!
(can you say Lighting) 2) send my 68 "out" to be "finished". both will require a loan... I don't like making payments that much either with the current poor managing of our Company (where I work)..we could shut the doors next week or sell it.
why me..OH Why me...LOL!!!

Sam,If you get the F150... Get the Extended Cab... It makes all the difference in the world for room and ride... I wish I had your problems... Don't you wish Peg was more understanding...  ------------------

This is the part that would scare me, if it were my choice. Stewart

With the 0% financing right now, I'd say get the truck. However, what you said about your company would make me go on the "do nothing" side.Carole ------------------

Sam,
With Pegs luck, you need to make more frequent trips to the Casino then the loan wouldn't be necessary and we all would get to watch you on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" Would Peg be considered as "The Nickel Queen or the Quarter Queen"?Mike

Let it ride, Sam. Especially if where you work has the possibility of shutting down. Wait for the better days and then go for the gusto. George

Sam,
Hold off a few months and see how things are going with your company. The last thing you want is to be looking for a new job and trying to pay on a bank loan. Just our opinion. Dave & Terri ------------------

Sam, I would hold out because Ford is not offering 0% financing on the trucks only on cars, and if they do it will be limited term only.
Take the Reno vacation and treat Peg to a good time, that way when you feel more comfortable she will be up for whatever you decide.------------------
