Ok, So I have not been on this Forum in months and the day I come back on Brad has bought ANOTHER truck!! It's a 5 speed Powerstroke too, dont you have three 5 speed Powerstrokes and one 5 speed big block already?!!!

Seriously though, congratulations on your newest purchase!! I think it is pretty cool that you keep buying these trucks up. Do you happen to have a picture of ALL of your trucks lined up? That would be impressive to see.

I agree.... It needs to be a 4door with extended cab and then find one of those sleeper bunks that go in the back window.

Get rid of rear bench seat and add a custom wrap around sofa on one side and put a swivel captain chair on the other (to use 1 rear door like normal)


Side note. A buddy of mine made a 4door extended cab longbed F350 with coils up front and long arm suspension and a rear ladder bar setup, it was quite a rig with 37s on it. Had a warmed up 460 and 5speed. Very fun cruiser.

Well, you asked so I will be honest. Love crewcabs, think flames are silly, prefer polished aluminum running boards, not crazy about those wing things behind the cab, love the color, would love a diesel, and am jealous that you have so many trucks when I had to sell my crewcab. Should pretty much cover it. What are your plans for this truck?

L99 CCLB psd chipped (stock everything else) f350 4x4
95 sclb 460 4x4 auto f250 (stock sorta) 4x4
92 CCLB 2wd 351 f350
90 sclb lariet 4x4 351 f150
89 rclb 460 c6 4x4 f250

87 sclb 4x4 460 modded lifted 40" tires
77 rcsb f150 2wd ranger explorer 460 built modded c6 toy

I'm getting a headache.

Of course, you could always just go with the 6 door F-350.



Somewhere I saw one with 6 doors plus the Supercab, but I can't find a pic of it.

I'm taking my 88 F350 4x4 rclb dually with utility body and parting it out, to make my 2wd CCLB into a coil sprung 4x4 and possibly shortening it and maybe make it a dually, not sure.

I have too many trucks. Gotta make one from two to try and thin down the herd.
