Forgot all about this thread. Glad it got started up again.
Took about 450 lbs of stuff to the metal recyclers last week. Not much of a load for a 350 really, but I'd have taken a picture anyway if I'd remembered this thread. Had some steel, aluminum, and a little bit of copper there. Got a little over $100, so I rolled that money back into my truck in the form of some new brake parts (lines, hoses, & I machined the rotors for free)!

Sorry, didn't notice this was specific year section, thought it was a more general section. At least I got one of the trucks right, ha. I'll edit the above post and would delete this but i don't know how.

I thought I had already posted in this thread, but I guess not.
Here's my '85 F-250 towing my Model A
My wife's '93 Explorer towing my Jeep (and being dwarfed by my buddies motorhome and Jeep).
My '95 F-150 with my slide-in camper and a bike rack in the receiver extended off the step in the trucks receiver.
My '95 F-150 with the camper and Jeep in the Badlands.
My '08 F-250 with the camper and Bronco in the Badlands
My '02 F-350 with the camper and Bronco in the Badlands (sensing a theme here?)
My '97 F-250 with the camper and Bronco (but not in the Badlands)
And my '97 F-250 showing what 20' of lumber in a 6.5' bed looks like

I have come to the conclusion it is the poly body mounts giving the optical illusion the frame is bent. I need to shim up the rad support and front cab mounts.
There is NO WAY the frame can flex now with the plate inside of it. And they utility truck is back so far on the trailer I only have about 1000lb tongue weight
