That's great you got a parts tuck, good luck with all that......

 

Its a Dodge, were gonna need that luck

 

Yes I was gonna say that too.......

 

Lol for plow trucks they generally only last a few seasons. We buy em cheap and keep switching plows out every 2-5 years. The bronco will be in our line up next year maybe it will last

 

Not both of them are superduties but one is. Got all this for free today my dad is right now going to go get the second load. Actually cost $40 for loading with the skidsteer. I might have to go back again and get some too. Bed of the 02 filled with dirt, trailer filled with brick, 86 filled with brick. Both did the speed limit very well but man did that little 302 in the 86 scream. I drove the 86 my dad drove the 02. Ya I know trailer lights weren't working they got unplugged but luckly I was able to plug them in and off again.

this what the 02 looked like when I got there (I got called after they loaded this up):

then getting ready to leave the 86:

pics taken by my brother while I was driving so not the best:



and ran out of gas in the 86 since the gas gauge don't work but luckly I had 2 5 gallon gas cans with me filled.

 

Great pics Trav, looks like a lot of weight there

 

It sure was I couldn't believe it and both did so great pulling the load it was amazing.

Nice pictures Trav, that looks pretty heavy the 02 was definitely sagging a little.

Here's some of my Dad's 2006 F550 6.0l with a full load of fire wood that he brought home on Monday. He uses it for our wood burnig stove that we use to heat the house and hot water in the winter. Its actually pretty heavy. I already posted these in the Ultimate Super Duty pic thread, but I thought they would fit pretty well in this one.

At the bottom is our dog Daisyl. She's a pure bred Bernese Mountain Dog, a great dog.

 

Ya it was but the 86 was sagging twice as much. I never even heard that truck ahead of me scream or anything. Even when I pulled off. But the 86 was screaming but I expected that out of an old 302. The guy we got them said it took 7 loads with his 1 ton dodge and gooseneck trailer us took 3. My dad got the last load on the 02 just waiting for him to get back he has to get a new belt for the 86.

Nice pictures. Better check the trailer bearings I think you might have been a tad over on the gross weight considering the axles are only 5 lugs.

 

Jim I think you missed the key factor, he's a redneck.......

 

Jim that was nothing for that trailer it has pulled 3 1/2 tons like nothing. But ya I will check all that soon.

Pics of the second load the truck was a lot lower. I took the trailer off and the darn thing raised only 2 inches about. It was filled with sand in the bed this time. The tires were rubbing most of the way. both pics are still hooked up:

 

Buddies wife's Mountaineer was wounded, so I brought it down to the repair shop for them.


Here is my truck out side of Home Depot loaded with remodeling supplies - squatting hard:


Here is what was in the back, and I still can't believe my truck held it all up. 1 piece of 1/2" plywood.

 

Mike want to be careful on that second load you have pictured might blow out your tires. LOL.

I was pretty impressed by how well it handled that load. It was almost as if there was nothing back there.
