Here is my truck. Just got 33's on it and i'm thinking I may need a lift or leveling kit for the front, it rubs on full turns. It is a f-250 HD and it has the bigger fuel hole so back in the day when you could buy leaded fuel this would take it, and it has no catalytic converter form the factory. It has a 4bbl Holley, but its the stock one with all the emissions crap. I removed the smog pumps (it had two)

Very nice truck, probably my favorite fullsize body style. :icon_thumby:

That last pic was like seeing a ghost. Looks a lot like dad's old 80 F-350 that he had from like 1992 to 2015. I really hated to see it go... :bawling:



It had roughly 300k on it, needed a engine, clutch and the body redone again (dad had it fixed up when he got it)

Thanks man! My uncle bought it rebuilt cause it had been wrecked. My dad did a lot of work to it, after I got the truck I found a pic of me when I was like 3 years old sanding it. And I want to say, your ranger build is awesome! I want to build something like what you have, after I sell my mustang.

You can tell someone was proud of yours, it is in very nice shape.

Dad was proud of his (aka The Ford) but being a company truck driven by employees it took a beating over the years.

Thanks for the compliment on my Ranger :icon_thumby:

I was going to go to a truck pull, but my parents decided I can't. But at the next one in a month or so I can go hopefully.

I want to see, all the guys who run gas class have chevys with like an 8" lift and a 400 so I want to show em how a ford does it. I don't think I have enough touque to break anything, mine has 180k miles on it and its got really low compression.

Yeah I guess. I decided I wanted to know what the 460 sounded like, so I took the muffler off. I'm going to do duals out the side (one on each side) with no muffler. Or maybe I'll just leave it like this, and bolt the stock system back up. I had to take the grinder to the nuts holding the muffler on. But it didn't damage the studs bad, I got new nuts to put back on it. If I want to sound awesome I'll unhook it and if I want to be quiet I can hook it back up.
