I think you're lucky to have to wait for yours! A friggin local dealer got one in that matches almost 100% what I would have ordered. ONly difference is that this one has the DVD and I wasn't going to order it. Well the Pres and CEO and the VP and COO (Wife and Daughter) informed me that the DVD stays. So it's exactly what I would have ended up ordering.
I wasn't really ready, but now I feel like I jumped on a train I can't stop. We drove it last night. It hit the ground yesterday afternoon and had 4 miles on it when I crawled in. I've driven them before, but it's soooo much different when it's what you want down to the options, color etc. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
The only thing is that the front springs are slightly reverse arched and have about 1" clearance like most people talk about. I was surprised after seeing my bro-in-laws 2003 7.3 with about 3". But I was really impressed with the ride and handling!!
What to do, what to do...... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Oh by the way, it's a while EB, 4x4, 6.0, EB premier group, tow package, cargo "stuff", DVD, LS rear, etc. Can't think of anything it doesn't have except the chrome step bars.

I don't know If I'd call the waiting lucky. I guess it all depends on how you look at things. I only buy a new vehicle about once every 8-10 years.
When I do decide to buy, I want one custom ordered to my specs. No more no less. I have two other vehicles in great running condition so am in no hurry.
There's just something about taking possession of a brand new piece of hardware that no one else has driven or owned.
It's a lot of money but I plan on keeping the thing for a long time.
Regards;
David

Your friends 7.3 must have a lift or 350 springs. My 03 7.3 was the same as yours and every one built before and after. You will need to fix this as I did with V code 350 springs and a 1.5" add a leaf for 3 inches. I have X owners chasing me down to find out what I did. I love having to look down at them to talk to them. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
