new play toys

I picked up an 86 f250 with a steel flatbed from a friend at work. Its going to be my beater/wheelin/ hammer truck. Got it for 500 bucks. It wasn't driven in a year. It has a 351w with an edlebrock manifold and holley 4v. 3" body lift and 35" bfgs on slotted mags. i tuned it up, changed all the fluids and put headers and an exhaust on it. Then last week i picked up and old ambulance cab and chassie for 300. It has a 460 c6 great tin and a full floater in the rear. So once i brake stuff i have spares.

Sounds like you go a helluva deal... you are going to have some fun because you don't have a huge investment to worry about. Think about getting rid of the steel flatbed to save weight.
