Its a 88 f250 diesel.. ex tichert truck so it is beat to the ground..... When we first got it the c6 transmission had engine oil in it.... still worked for 150000 after we changed the oil too! this truck must have upwords of 400000 miles on it...... My dad ended up having to use it as a daily driver for a few years till we found this..

In that last picture you can see the frame sticking through the bumper... well there was actually a piece of tree wedged in there too But the guy decided to take is as a souivener...
Its a 92 f350 crew longbed with a ford reman engine and a banks turbo kit. This truck was totaled by running into two falling trees at the same time during a storm.... Funny story the guy that ended up fixing the frame on this truck was actually behind it when it crashed and said this truck saved his life because if it wasnt there he wouldve crashed and he was just driving a small car.... We got it all fixed... its now my dads daily driver..
Picture before it was finished...

Ended cracking the front rotors... the pass and drivers side wheel bearings were no good.... pads were cheap.. couple tirods worn out... and towing 6000 pounds for 6 hours sunday and 3 hours sunday didnt help it..... so its getting a rear brake, front brake, tirods bearings new steering stabilizer... The truck is also gutless so were thinking the pump is worn out or never got turned up.. Anyways now to the trucks we picked up.... This is my brothers new truck.. 97 f250 with the solid axle swapped in and the powerstroke..

an 88 f250 diesel with no transmission.. picked this one up for 300 Its a xlt lariat with cruise.. but manual doors... Were probably going to take the rebuilt transmission out of the white truck to fix this one and make it a 2wd temporarily............ This truck needs ALOT of work...

great looking trucks. its looks like you have the same problem i do, even when there wrecked you still see the potential in them

 

Sharp looking truck. Wish I had room for that many trucks at my house.

 

Yeah about the space.... we are kinda running out. its actually at my dads work and we are using the neighbors lot to store the 88... and a whole ton of other stuff....
