LOL he musta ran out of money on the project before getting to the turbo.

Personally I wouldn't have put one either simply cause I don't like 'em.

I still gotta ask how does that thing even move with those tires and no turbo?


Funny you say that! I was thinking the same as soon as I saw the truck, ahahaha I gotta show this to FTE, I know Oreo will be jealous

I don't like the 4 way steering but you would probably need it with that thing. Some people have no priorities-put a TV, new tires, 4 way steering, extend the cab more, and NO TURBO!! I tell ya, some people aren't all that bright.

BTW: Why don't you like turbos, whats wrong with getting places a little faster?

I hate how a turbo looks under the hood of an old truck, and especially hate the whistling sound they make.

I love my old round metal air cleaners and ROAR of the engine!

O I know, don't worry I ain't stupid after all, but since they were stupid enough to make N/A Diesels, i'm gonna take advantage of it!

3.73 rear gears, 4.10 front gears, looks like they ran out of money long before a turbo would be in order.

I actually considered rear steering, and yes, it would be great while plowing.

Long radius, steer with the rear wheels and keep the rear tires off the curb.
Short radius, steer with both axles, stay close to the curb with the blade and your rear tires off the curb.

And every once in a while, crab steer to move sideways without turning would be great.

I keep looking at the site plans we build.
And I have to wonder why architects never consider how a plow truck can possibly plow the parking lot and what they will do with the snow when they do plow it.

Banks and convience stores are the worst, but almost anything getting built today has to make every square inch useable and cool looking.
