Hello everyone, figured I would post in here first before diving and browsing the rest of the forum.
Been a blue oval fan since the mid 90's thanks in large part to Bob Chandlers Bigfoot monster truck (as evident by my Avatar). Was able to finally bit the bullet and buy my first Ford truck (pretty easy guess what year I chose haha)

A 1994.5 Ford F-250 I was able to source from a fathers friend for a pretty good deal. 7.3L powerstroke (love the fact it has the older "turbo" badges on it) with 178,000kms on the clock, everything on it is in good shape, came with a brand new set of summer and winter tires (on steel rims), even the interior only has a few heavy wear spots
Biggest issue's being a clutch leak and a hole in the front fuel tank. Hoping to drop the transmission soon to figure out what is going on as the old receipts the fellow gave me shows he did the slave cylinder last winter, so I think it is the seal.

Mod's by the original owner were limited to a front receiver hitch with warn quick connect wiring for a winch and warn manual locking hubs.

Future plans will include a small lift, 8 hole ford oem aloca's (from the same time period), winch, led light bar, headache rack, air intake, programmer, downpipe, exhaust and intercooler. pretty much basic bolt ons the further up the trucks abilities without sacrificing reliability.

 

Welcome aboard Canadian7.3!
I just parted with my 92 F250/7.3, it was a great truck!
Be sure to visit your local BC Chapter and say hi to Chris: British Columbia - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

 

Welcome to FTE. If you find the time stop into the BC Chapter and say hello.

 

thanks and I sent a request for the BC Chapter

 

Hey, great to see you stopped in. I'll tend to your request shortly. Where abouts in BC do you hang out?

 

Originally and currently residing in Kitimat. Most of the time no one knows where it is but with all the stuff going on here (new aluminium smelter, LNG setting up shop, Shell also announcing a LNG style plant and of course the end point for the embridge pipeline) people atleast now have heard of it haha

 

Yes all that should get you noticed.

 

The original Big Foot Monster Truck was awesome. It was a steel bodied truck, which is what I liked about it.
