Edit: 56K DEATH BEWARE!!!!
Alright well, he's my tow rig. The truck was once all lime green when i bought it but the bedsides started rusting away so i ripped that bed off and bought a white one to stick on it. hopefully this summer i will have the front end painted white also to match by a friend of mine. Don't let its looks fool you, it's a sleeper :thefinger: and yes those are 35x12.50x16 TSL's on 16x10 rims on a stock height F-350. Enjoy :headbang:

not too bad not too bad, waiting to get a little more cash so me and the wife can buy around 18 acres of land. As for the dogs name(i was wondering if anyone saw him in the pics lol) is Jeice, he was a stray i found at a friends house when he was a puppy, their dad was gonna shoot him and i said i would take him. I think he's a shepard mix, or if you have ever seen or know what a Whippet dog is, he looks pretty similar to one of them, he's got a big chest so he can run for a while lol.
And as for weak justin, i'd hook that weak truck o'mine to your old v10 any day of the week LOL

looks good though, little tired of seeing stacks if you can believe it. i just saw so many people with stacks at my last job that they seem played out (at least around here)
but i basically just want a diesel for my tow truck :annoyed:
currently towing with a '03 f-350 with the 5.4 that i am officially fed up with
just this past weekend it blasted another spark plug right out of the head and cracked the same side exhaust manifold for the third time :sad:

My truck was a US Forest Service truck. It isn't that color. And it isn't a fjord.

When i bought the truck, the stealership that had it actually had 3 others the same exact color(fleet trucks). Said they came from michigan from a landscaping company or somethin like that. There was one other identical f-350 that had 50 some thousand miles on it but it was already sold, and mine had 79k when i bought it, and the others had dump beds on them but mine and the other had regular beds. I also thought the same thing when i bought it, hey it looks like the forest service truck, then i thought, wonder if people will think i work for the state or somethin lol. And as for the stack, i hear ya on that one, i'm thinking of removing it and just running the exhaust back the way i had it to begin with but leave enough room to put the 5 inch stack on the end of the exhaust. Kinda thought of doing that when i got my dirt bike and through it in the bed of the truck and thought this stack sucks for wanting to haul anything, always worried about somethin getting up against it and melting to it and what not.

surprizingly no heh, i bought it from a dealership, and they had got it in on a trade along with 6 other powerstrokes the same exact color and were all f-350s. said it used to be a landscaping truck but idk for sure, mine was the second lowest in mileage when i bought it (79k), yeah its ugly but hell i only paid 15k for it at the time and that was when every diesel under the sun was selling for over 20k.

I'm sure you will probably get a lot of people driving down the road thinking "Why would it say real trucks don't need spark plugs ?" (I'm sure quite a few people don't know that diesel = no spark plug)

I would never complain about a 15k PSD, but I definitely think the short stack sets it off.

yeah i like it, the thing with me is, yes i would love it to be all one color like it was before(gonna have the cab painted sometime to match the whtie bed), but its a truck, it runs great, never lets me down when i need it. So in my eyes i could care less that its white and green, i get a lot of sh!t from people saying oh that truck is ugly as all hell, and whenever i see some jackass staring at my truck or wanting to race me, i just floor it and cover'em in smoke(thanks to edge :D ). I honestly could care less, its a truck, if i wanted a show truck i woulda spent way more than 15k and it would probably only see daylight twice a year lol.

That is a nice truck regardless of the colors. Only things I'd change is I'd put a set of '05-'07 XLT headlights and put a XLT front bumper on it. I'd put the towing mirrors on it too. Is it a ZF6 or auto?

I would love for my truck to be a 6 speed, but alas it is an auto. I had it rebuilt at 115k miles because second gear pretty much disappeared and the truck was shifting from 1st straight to 3rd. i had it rebuilt with upgraded parts including a HD billet converter, also installed a bully dog shift enhancer, basically consists of heavier springs and a new actuator for the valve body to increase the line pressure, which i thought was a pretty good idea seeing as i have a programmer on it. Now when i turn the truck back to stock, it will literally slam you back in the seat it shifts so hard, it shifts nice a firm with the programmer on full out 100hp 200fttrq, but with it back to stock it shifts alot harder.

Well, at least you've got the trans built to handle all the abuse you put it through. I like how those 35s on it at the stock height look.

Some people might say real trucks need neither spark nor glow plugs.
