I've been real busy also. We did some home improvementsgor an appraisal, now starting to begin rounding up firewood.
I have two sets of rims for 97 and older 8 lug trucks I am selling. Pm me if interested |

Hey Jim, just now saw that you said you had some rims. I think you actually might have sold me one of those sets? Met at the McDonalds in West Leb. If it was you, wow it's a small world! Anyway got 'em all blasted and painted up and hopefully getting my new Cooper Discoverers mounted this coming week.

Hello Jim. I have a few sleds. It is a good area to ride, when we have snow. Last year was rough! I was able to do a little riding around the property, not much on the trails though.

New member from Berlin
Shawn Bryan from Berlin, Central Vermont. Not quite legal yet but I have an F350 Lariat 6.7 CCLB with all the bells and whistles ordered and due in next month. It will be ruby red metallic which I understand is the fastest color! }>
Had Fords PUs before but not for a while. My old ride is a 2005 Toyota 4Runner. Wife's last ride was a 2003 Tundra. First time ever I have ordered exactly what I want so I'm looking forward to the new truck arriving. As far as what we'll use it for, hauling hay, a tractor, kayaks, etc. Most anything - we've missed having a truck for all the chores you seem to have in an old farmhouse. Three kids, all grown up and we're both retired. Maybe someday we'll have a 5th wheen behind this truck and head south for January-March.:-X0A6 Guess that's enough. Look forward to the discussions. |
Hey everyone, I'm Chris, I live in the NEK, Danville to be specific. I recently graduated from college, went to Paul Smiths in the adirondaks, studied forestry. I have a temporary job in Northern NH, Pittsburg, where I'll be cruising timber all summer. Had to get a 4WD for this job, and was considering a new F150, because our family has always owned ford pickups. Almost bit the bullet on a 2011 reg. cab XL V6, was a real good price with some warranty remaining, but insurance for my age group is a killer. So, I got a 1976 F250 Highboy instead :-jammin and just put minimum coverage on it. It's got a 390, 4 speed manual, divorced transfer case, 36" humvee tires and manual steering :-X18 talk about being a bear to steer. But, it's a tough old truck, and the price was right. And I got to keep my car I had for running back and forth to college, so I don't have to feed the 390 all the time.
My dad has a 2003 super cab F250 5.4 as well. I want to hook chains and see which one would outpull the other, but I don't think he'd go for it :D |
Hello Chris. I'm Jim the chapter leader. I live in Orange. Snowmobile quite often up there. Got any pictures of your truck sounds sweet.

The snowmobiling is pretty good up here. I haven't ridden in the past few years because I've been out of state at college and money's been tight to ride maybe one or two weekends a season. Hopefully I'll get my SRX 700 back on the trails this winter though. Pray for snow!
Here is some pics of the beast https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...id=255323&.jpg https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...id=255324&.jpg https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...id=255326&.jpg https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...id=255328&.jpg |
I'm a skidoo loyalists, 2009 GTX 500ss. I probably average 1200-1500 miles a year.
That is a nice truck. Should be fun in the mud up there. |
I did 2000 miles the last winter I rode. The yamaha is wicked fast, and corners like it's on rails but I'd like to upgrade to a nicer riding sled. Thinking a skidoo REV style. My girlfriends family has all skidoos, rode one of their REV's and I liked it. Doesn't have the power my 700 triple does, but it's not often I need to go 120MPH down the railroad bed :-jammin
I just got a set of matching tires for that truck, with alot better tread. Getting hard to find 16.5" tires, might have to convert it to 16" 8 lug eventually. |
My back loves the rev style. I put 10000+ on my 05 GTX 500ss. I like tighter wooded trails.
16.5 is an odd ball size. Good score on the tires |
1964 F100 Burlington
Hi all,
I'm Donal Dugan. I live in Burlington. I just got involved in a 64 F100. Already moded before I got here into I don't know what style. I worked on a lot for 60 era Ford Mustangs 25 years ago but was more interested in a truck this time around. I'm trying to get her road worthy first and then see where this goes. Hope when I get it driveable maybe I can make it to a get together. Hope my signature link works and you can see pictures. Hope to meet you soon ON the road. |

Heyo,
Ben, live/work (run a video game design studio) in Stowe VT with my lady and our horses/dog/cats. Just bought my first Ford (96 F150 XLT 5.8l) with plans to just have it as a farm truck, but pretty much immediately fell in love and now want to restore it. It looks like the person who sold it to me might have played me and I think it is going to need some real TLC, but that is going to be half the fun I think. Hoping to get it to pass inspection once I deal with some completely rotted core rad mounts etc. Would be stoked to find anyone around my area who might be interested in helping, I am not a mechanic but want to learn as much as I can and restore this truck to former glory days. I am a jeep convert (still love my jeeps though). Stoked to be a part of this community and hope to meet some new faces/make some friends. Cheers all |

Cheers all I have a 96 f250 crew cab short box, 4x4 7.3 diesel. I like this style, the old body style (OBS). Rust is horrible. I have a Texas parts truck I bought and finally got up here. Next summer is the plan to use that to rebuild mine. You are about an hour from me, I live in Orange, just east of Barre. |
