and still no M1 Matt..........tisk tisk.....


That's a pretty nice new truck unrulee, but I still love your 79 F-250. I'd give all of my roommate's stuff for it! I'm sure he wouldn't mind very much.

 

Congrats on the new ride, Ironhide is a fine mate for SuperBeast!

 

Dan-

I got my M1 two weeks ago, I've only had time to shoot it once. Its a ton of fun.

 

In December I bought a 1996 F250 CC short box, 460 out of California. 57K on it and I got it for 7K. Thought it was a pretty good deal. I wanted the bright blue but this one in the funny green/blue tourmaline color. Looks pretty good.

I already added the Ford/Alcoa aluminum wheels and a Prodigy brake controller.


I'm going to put headers, supercharger, gear vendors and ad 85 c.i.'s to it. Should be a pretty good tow rig then. I was pretty happy it made between 12.5 to 14.4 on the way up here. Not too bad for a 460 3/4 ton.

 

Thats a really good deal. One of my friends has an 89 F250 RC/LB 460/C6 and he swears it only gets 6 MPG and refuses to tune it up because he doesn't think it will get any better and therefore its a waste of money. He uses the thing like a car and never hauls anything and drives it only around town.

I was really considering a 96 F250 Extended cab/long box 460/ZF5 for a while but I decided to just put a hitch on my Jeep and get a trailer, then I can still get 20 MPG and haul only when I need too.

 

I'm 70 miles north of North Dakota...in Manitoba.

 

Thats close enough!

 

I wish I was that far north right now... 95 degrees is bullcrap!

 

It seems that we`re not any better off, frying eggs on the pavement is a good possibility here.

 

Yea its plenty warm around here... I've got a big USPSA match in Bozeman tomorrow and its going to be 90 degrees there.

 

Checkin in from Mandan. I've got a 78 F-250 Supercab, all black with racetrack trim. Dad has a 79 F-250, Bright yellow and black. He's in Dickinson.

 

I have seen your dads truck, pretty sure. Nice one.

Also, Welcome to the site!

 

I'll have to keep an eye out for you, I have a lifted white 79 250 reg cab on 35's and an 05 Grey 'Duty sitting on 34's.

Welcome aboard!!!!!!!!

 

~nobody - It's pretty hard to miss. Since we restored it in '03 we have had it in shows at Dickinson, Richardton, Medora and I've had it at Buggies N' Blues a couple times.

~unrulee - I've been watching for your white rig, but have yet to see it. I have been driving my supercab the last couple weeks while my car was in the shop. But now that I have it back it's going to be back to driving my car (Black '97 cougar). Can't afford to feed that thirsty 400

 

Where did you buy your Cougar and how long have you had it?
