The camper would be cool, but so would a flatbed or a raised deck towing truck.
Imagine all the slick's you could rescue witha unit like that?

Lot's of possibilities, but a hard decision to make none the less.

Good luck

It's been a month since I last posted. And unfortunantley I haven' t got a thing done to the truck. First my trusty 94 850 turbo quit starting with 510kms on it, and i decided to take it off the road as all the little things were starting to add up. SO then I spent a week or so test driving second h...

I'm gonna need a bigger rifle. If I catch one of those samsquanches trying to steal my slick im gonna get two birds stoned at once and drop it. :lol: I actually golfed with ricky and julien once in moncton. it was a promotional thing through a car dealership and my buddy is a salesman there. Lots of...

Nice work foodstick, I have plans to build a gyrocopter someday. I have always been into aviation a bit, was actually accepted to a flight college but changed my mind last minute. Course cost 58K :shock: Can't wait to see that thing finished, you should mount a camera on it to get some cool photogra...

wow, that makes my jeep with 33" tires look tiny! BUt i'll be honest, I feel alot better beating my 95 YJ through the woods. If I had that truck I would be another one of those guys with an oversized 4x4 who keeps it shiny and only drives around town with it. :lol: Or maybe id just be the guy w...

Ya no kidding, 1000$ for a tach! I don't have that much money into my entire truck at this point. lol

Buddy smoked his breakfast before posting that one for sale.

If she comes with the truck I deffinentley couldn't afford it. One is expensive enough! Which one do ya think would give ya the most trouble? :shock: whistle.gif BarnieTrk :popcorn: :rotflmao: Who would give me the most trouble???? Probably my wife, unless she really liked the new f 100 girl. Then ...

Tons of diesels sitting around here as well. I know the 6.4 is not known for fuel economy, I have a 6.0 which I have been happy with overall. It gets a little better milage than the 6.4, about 12 mph towing a 7K Toy Hauler. I know people who tow with the 6.4 and 7-8 range is not unheard of. The v10...

Im using a 4.6L in my build, but not going with EFI. Edelbrock sells a 4 barrel intake manifold, along with an ignition control unit, and associated wireing harness. The kit claims you only need to run a ground wire, and a positive from the ignition to battery. :D I am a EFI fan, but I figured the c...

The people that lived behind us had an Edsel...The dad LOVED that car..one day his wife drove it to the grocery store..through the wall, and into the produce section ! Well it was a brick wall so only the nose of the car got cabbage on it ! Well the car sat for years in the back yard..I was possibl...

Thankks alot everyone! Ive deffinentley never recieved such wide spread happy birthday wishes.

Tools are always good.

Thanks again,

Japedo,

That is going to be a good looking truck when you get it finished up, wish i could do that kind of sheet metal work.. from the back of the bed to the cab is about 15/16" on my 66'. Thank you for the kind words there, my sheet metal skills are primitave compared to some on this site. But it's a...

They are cool car's. I think this Edsel is to far gone gone. There would be metric ton of parts on it for someone who is building one though. NIce pictures you posteed there, im going to take a few of the old edsel and post them up here. There is also a 1950 something rancharo station wagon with hug...

Turned 25 yesterday, october 1st. Quarter century down! I got a 10" bench mount drill press from my best friend, I think he was tired of helping me drill plug welds with an electric drill. :lol: Also got a 14g metal shear from my father, 120v. Cut some 16g with it yesterday and I was impressed....

Went for a little mission yesterday searching for a tailgate, a good friend of mine knew where some old vehicles were deep in the forest. And that they were, I would have to cut trees down to get anything out of there in one piece. Here is a list of some of the vehicles found deep in the forest. 195...

Can anyone tell me what the gap is supposed to be between the box and the cab? The box is bolted down and I need that measurement before figureing out cab mounts.

THanks folks!

I can't take credit for Clyde's name, he was my dad's first. I asked him, one day, what was the name of "The Old Girl" out there. I could have swore he was mad. "My truck ain't no female, his name is Clyde!" I was corrected. He got that name from the song "Ahab the Arab&quo...

Looking good there foodstick, your truck appears to sit lower on the LTD frame then mine does on the crown vic chassis. I think it's due to your Uni haveing a higher cab floor, with the modified step that you have. I didn't have to cut anything there to set the cab over the frame rails on my 66 cab,...
