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....

-FIX MY ROTTED FRAME
-lots of body work
-new front and rear end
-new front drive shaft
-better sound system

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 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? :worried2:

Have you got rust converter, yet?

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

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.

i saw probably 10 cars driving around in the deepest darkest parts of harlem with no sills at all haha and all over the states i saw **** which had been in what must have been faily big accidents cruising around...bent pillers and broken windscreens, bumpers held on with duct tape. Bald tyres everywhere. Hop in a taxi/cab and you can't hear the driver over the wheel bearings haha. ****s wild west as **** over there
