Went to the 127 Sale yesterday. About as the day ended, we came across this 1992 F350 4door 4x4 with a 351 windsor, in Gadsden, AL. The guy wanted 3k for it, we offered $2500, and were driving it home monday! Not exactly a pretty truck, but with some TLC, i think i can get it lookin good.

Probably will be a good truck after you get the Alabama out of it. |

Mud flaps are out of the question. Never been a fan of them. They look good on some trucks, but not most. Mudflaps look good on duallys though.. pinto: HAHAH!! LMAO rednck, thanks man. so do i. And unfortunately, yes 10mpg is here to stay.... :headbang: |

So, I woke up this morning and drove the truck for the first time. My father drove it home from alabama yesterday while i was at work. Man i love this thing! When i backed into the parking spot, the back end hangs over the curb, and the bumper BARELY fits in the parking spot. 1/2foot more and the truck would be in the driving lane :rofl: I got so many comments at school: "Damn this thing is HUGE!" "thats just way too long" "i want one" "i could never drive this 4x4 limo...." I said, "thats the nicest thing you ever said to me, thankyou!" to all of them haha :histerica Anyway, after school today, i started to clean the thing. And dang i swear this thing hasnt been cleaned in months! The dirt and grime on the white body was on so bad, i had to break out the pressure washer. The brake dust on the wheels were on there so long, i had to use a wire brush to get it off(now i need to buff the wheels :banghead) I also found baby puke, well i think/hope it was, smelt like it. :whiteflag Here is the only pic i got of the truck. The camera was cold from being inside, and the muggy hot air outside kept fogging the lense, so this is the best shot i got. Posted Image |

Eric i saw a truck exactly like yours on the way to school this morning with a lift on some super swampers and silver BFG wheels. I had to do one of these: :wenotworthy: |

lol, thanks kik. It overheated so bad in calhoun, i think the heads cracked. Has no power, wont exceed 1300RPM and wont go up my driveway on its own. Had to tow it last night. I'm thinking about lifting the black truck and swapping the 302 with a 460carb. RC Cheddar Boy: I have been buggy my dad about a lift. He says "Son, your other truck had problems, we dont live in woodstock anymore, you need a reliable truck. If you break down you dont have a store next to you for help, you have cows." and "This is MY TRUCK, not yours. I will turn the title over to you when you graduate, but from the time being, everything you do to the truck is cosmetic, nothing mechanical." the only lift kit i am allowed to get is a Skyjacker kit. Obviously the best kit out there, and also the most expensive. :headbang: |
