Video of my f800

The old gal has been been started in 10 mounts. Fired it up today as fast as I could get the motor to turn over. It was running and doing its thing.
Had my wife do a short video of it. As I hate to say it, but its going up for sale. Will be adding it to Ebay by next week. Found a new toy so this one has to go for me to play.

1987 F800 with a reman motor 7.8, Road Ranger RT6610 10 speed trans. 4.56 gears turning 24.5 rubber. Pulls good and runs out around 75 MPH may be faster but that was where I stopped. 60" Stand up sleeper and a hauler bed. This truck was ordered and built a week after getting off Fords line. Air ride seats and dual air bags off the back of the springs to make the ride better. Dual 50 gallon step tanks and 100 gallon tank under the bed but not hooked up. Has gooseneck and 5th wheel rails.
Truck needs some work, and a paint job. Then it is going to make someone a nice RV puller for sure. I enjoy it more then my 2005 Chevy Kodiak C5500. But my wife does not.

Thanks buddy I did forget that. Added it now and guess my mind is going north while my body is heading south. Not bad on running after sitting for around 10 mounts.. I still get a big smile driving the old gal. Found a dually bed I may throw on it. Then the young kids would be after it.
