Great looking truck. Cool 7 bolt wheels too! 
Your patience sure paid off. It is impossible to find a left license plate, towing mirrors and 7 bolt wheels on the dealer lots here. They just don't get the fact that someone needs a HD F150 to tow something and drive daily.

Yeah, that 600+ miles range is going to be nice .... or maybe 300+ when towing.
Thanks everybody for the nice posts!

Yep, nowhere to be found around here either.
The 14 weeks and 5 days wait was worth it, no doubt. I got exactly what I wanted.
Especially since I waited during a time when I did not tow the TT anyway, and now I still have enough time to break in the engine before the 2012 camping season starts for us!

Oh no! I spoke too early! You got the steps on already. That means when I install my steps I'll effectively be like 30 lbs or so lower in payload.
