truck talk

[cumminsbayou4x4]

id do that buy a 100 dollor gps then if you lift it and put biger tires on it the gps will tell you the right speed

nice lookin truck blue, im really into the ford trucks and my dd rig is very similar to yours. its a 91 f350 4x with a 7.3 idi that i turbo'd along with the lift n a bunch of other stuff. you got a good truck there for sure. the only advice i could give you is to ditch the ttb front and swap in a late 70's ford d44 from a bronco or f150. ttb front ends are nothing but problems.heres a couple pics of my dd for ya....

really nice truck! looks like the body are the same.

if i had unlimited money, i'd

-lift 6-8" or so
-large knobby tires
-sun visor
-tool box
-FIX MY ROTTED FRAME
-lots of body work
-new front and rear end
-new front drive shaft
-better sound system


i did get my scrap run in... made $73 that was my first time. 660 pounds of steel.

The tickets from my local scrapyard look exactly like that lol.

[Bluethunder3320]

oh yea and it was raining all day, and when i started from a red light, i usually did a burn-out... i wonder if im driving too fast or my tires just bald

it always burns out on the right side rear tire (in 2wd)

when i got back i noticed a piece of metal hanging underneath the truck... well the rear cross member is so rotted out that it fell off and the gas tank straps are the only thing holding it on

AND....... DIFF IS LEAKING FML

i think maybe you should scrap this thing if its that rusty lol. Try not to crash into anything

never give up. never surrender. just because it is rusty don't mean its no good. just means you have to spend more time working on it.

The pros call it "weight reduction". Improves fuel economy.

[Bluethunder3320]

i have to get a pic of this up..... im amazed that the suspension is still attached to the frame because theres nothing there

[Bluethunder3320]

i just looked for some front axles and all i could find is for $2500... i could get a better truck for that lol

i thought there was, but all i did was go to the DMV and pay for registration (was like 300), all i have to do is get emissions inspected in another year

What? My car failed a warrant for the window washers not working. Your thing has suspension components falling off and a cross member missing, thou you can still drive it?

Have you got rust converter, yet?

[devino246]

If you're burning out from a stop, you're letting your clutch out too fast.

Welcome to the USA

[newrider3]

I think the lesson to be learned here is to be more cautious when buying a vehicle that has lived it's whole life in the rust belt.
