Jello

Well I got another chance to remove a bunch of jello from my carburetor yesterday. It started running rough and my AFR meter was reading 20 SUPER LEAN so I pulled the carb. I got a marble size pile of corn goo out of it and everything is smooth and rumbly again. I am hoping the ethanol finally runs its course since I have been springing for nonE calling it my 20% insurance.

Today was a run for propane and drop off a friends flatbed trailer!

We always get 1 or 2 stories or thumbs up from people.



It needs washed I know



Dirt on the hood is local farming dust in the air settling out this time of year around here...

Dark colors don't stay clean long. I have a black truck. I literally see the dust settling on it as I dry it.

Factory F-250 4x4?

I'm curious, is yours a factory f-250 4x4? if so what does the date tag say? I believe that I could possibly have the last If not one of the last F-250 4x4s produced for '60 as well as for the entire 3rd Gen trucks. Anyone know what month they stopped producing them in '60?

Yes it is. Got the data plate descrambled post 14 by numberdummy. I do not know when they stopped but I think they are special orders back then.

Hauled a Ton

I hauled a Ton of pellets home today - not figuratively! It handled very well and safely at 55-60 which is the speed limit in my area.







I was nervous at first because of the squat it gained when the forklift set the load. Its not sitting on the rubber suspension bumpers! Fantastic!

That's a pretty hefty load load for an F250.

50 bags 40# plus 50# chicken food. Yes it squatted but was not on the overload bumpers yet. I wonder if the CV conversions could pull off hauling 2000+ pounds safely?

Any takers???

Depends on springs. Likely 4x had heavier suspension.
