I got a new tow rig

[Shran]

I traded my RV for this yesterday. Needs some work (brakes, heater core, lots of cleaning, tailgate, receiver hitch, tires, etc...) but it runs and drives pretty well. Has a stock 460, T19, and 208. Can't wait to get the brakes fixed so I can drive it. Good thing I have my 4 cylinder Ranger, 'cuz I think putting gas in this thing would kill me.

I love that bodystyle.

If anything happens to my F-150 I will replace it as a DD with a Mustang, and get a 80-82 F-350 SRW std cab longbox 4x4 w/ a 400 for a tow pig/winter warrior.

There was exactly what you want on craigslist a while back, and out your way too. Almost considered driving out and picking it up.

It is my favorite body style too. I almost traded off on a '78 Chevy K20 with a 350/TH400 a few days before I found this one but I'm glad I didn't. This is 12 times the truck the Chevy would have been.

Good looking truck man. I'd love to get a FS Bronco in that body.

I like my F-150 too much to go rocking the boat right now. Besides that, I want a stock one. I don't know how a bodylift would work with a gooseneck plate...

18' car trailer. My F150 did alright but the 302 in that just didn't have the torque to keep up with the hills around here. It is definitely a heavy bastard!

Meh, already have two lifted RBVs and the trails I run are way too tight for most fullsize rigs. If I was into mud at all (hate it) I'd probably consider it.

Dude you should see the gooseneck plate in mine. It is like a 1" thick piece of steel welded across the top of the frame. I was going to remove it until I saw exactly what it was, now I am just going to take the ball out...

I got a lot of work done tonight. Picked up a class 5 receiver hitch and a toolbox at the junkyard for $50 and installed that, fixed the brake lights and blinkers, and a bunch of other small stuff. Turns out the heater core the PO bought for it is the wrong size or I would have had that done too. I think I can fix the brakes if I bleed them. Hoping that's case, otherwise I'm buying a new master cylinder and booster.

Got a tail gate, new wheels and rubbers! Major changes. Also took off the ass ugly orange company name on the side, fixed a LOT of minor issues and did the front brakes. Should be ordering patch panels for the cab soon and doing a nice dark blue Rustoleum paint job shortly after.
