I can't wait to get my new truck. People are gonna jump out of the way when they see it. It's gonna look like rolling death.

What engine does that 93 have in it? Looks like you are off to a great start.

I have a 92 F250 with a 300. Great engine there.

I have a 351 EFI. Truck only has 100K on it, and has a rebuilt E4OD. After looking under the truck and seeing the broken hitch frame, I figured out why the trans was rebuilt so soon! At least the rebuild happened BEFORE I got it for a change. Just have to chase down why it
won't crank. Will be pulling and testing the battery, starter, and probably be replacing cables in the process for insurance.

I'll be doing some interesting work on it (most notably, a VERY cheap DIY paintjob) and will be posting pics in progress stuff soon, so keep an eye out.

I agree. I think 32'' would be plently. Besides, you can't gear low enough for tires that big without some more money and work. 4.56 is as low as you can go on a half ton axle from what I've read.

4.10 /4.56 with 32's would be ideal. It would look sweet with that six inch lift. =)

yeah, i would definitely not even think about bigger tires until i got the thing re-geared. Theres a really great differential place in town thats going to regear my diffss and do some custom reinforcing to the housings and upgrade to a higher spline just to ensure better structural integrity with the thing. My ideal Would be to put some 39" Boggers on there but it all really depends on what my clearance and travel room looks like when im done with the suspension and some body-mods. I cant wait to get some good rains out here so i can go thrash some mud with her

I hate to brag, but you do have a point, the weather has been very beautiful around here. The winter was, at its coldest, about 29 degrees.
It works out well for me since im a firm believer in driving will every window in the truck open at all times hahaha
But youve got quite a nice collection there rockin300! Its just a shame youve got to worry about rusting fenders and such

Hey, where do you live?

I live in Hell, I think. The humidity is horrible here. We have long, hot and very humid summers. Humidity is often at the 100% mark. We plan on moving, AS SOON AS WE SELL OUR HOUSE.

You can't step outside for five minutes without soaking your shirt and dripping with sweat. It sucks, I hate this place.

You are exact me. I HATE DETROIT because humidity in summer kill me so bad.
