Well....you guys have already seen my favorite lever. Its a casehardened model 1894 deluxe sporting rifle that dates to 1895. COSteve posted about it back in February.
I also have a 1938 Model 94. I have one Marlin model 1895MR in .450 Marlin.

Unfortunately guys I sold my F-350 six years ago. I keep the name 1badf350 because I have been joining various forums since I first bought it and it is easy to just keep all my screen names the same.
It was a 2000 crew cab short bed lariat with 7.3 PSD. It had a 6" lift, 38" tires, TS Performance chip, MBRP exhaust.
I only have a couple of pics that dont even show the whole truck. The website I hosted most of them on is no longer in service.

Now I drive a Jeep and a Tahoe.

The worst part is that I sold it in 2005 for $21,000. Today they are still selling for $21,000. :(

Welcome. I will never get rid of mine either. It is a 99 F-350 7.3, long bed crew cab 4WD. It is everything I need for work and play and hauling my family around. I couldn't afford to replace it.
