Default Sad Day/ Can't believe I am saying this

So my fiancee's father had a 1983 F250 sitting outside their house for quite some time. His father took it and redid the brake lines and went through a few other things. He took the week off and redid the plugs wires, carb, and the engine has all new accessories... He brought it to their house and I helped him put his meyer snowplow and man does it look nice for a ford....

I posted an UW picture where he plowed a small pile of snow for me to drive through and I got stuck... He then pulled me out so very easily...

I wont be going to the dark side.... but his truck is nice...

happens man

i drove a dually f350 turbo cummins with a 34' foot rock wall behind it from portland, or to logan, ut....

that truck could run, under load, at 80mph so damn smooth it was disgusting...
and it had a mini fridge.... A MINI FRIDGE!

ford makes some nice rides. all there is too it.

how ever, rebranding a mustang 15 different things DOES NOT fill out your muscle car selection for shame Ford! For Shame...

What makes me super angry... he can go buy like 34-35 inch tires without a lift.... he is running 33's I think now... and he jokes he is getting to old, he will have to get smaller tires so the hop into the cab is smaller.... but it makes me wanna go find an older chevy to have fun with...

yeah thats the price you pay to love a compact SUV. it you had an old '91 Silverado, you could cram larger tires under it too

if he get's too old to climb in, you could always trade him pinks

I dont think that would happen.... But the bumper on it, if I can ****** some pics next weekend is a custom steel bumper his dad made back in 83... lol.... It looks nice as Shat and I wanted something similar rather than going back to stock, but you live.... Its got a manual tranny... and I was giving him some crap because there is a little noise putting it into reverse... Told him I can teach him to drive it if he wanted... lol... and then his wife got on him for tearing up the yard.... and it turned into a fun day...

i've never saw a ford w/ a cummins in it. All the ones i have seen all had the 7.3 international in them. the powerstroke is the same as the older ones but turbo'd and all the other uptodate stuff but the same base though.

Ha I like how you call '91 "old" while I'm driving a '78 everyday and my dad daily drives a '67 barracuda... Guess different people have different ideas of old...

I have both a Blazer & a Ford F250 4x4. Not to mention a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.9.
Then for speed I have a Suzuki SV.
