right on, this is what I am talking about:thumbsup: I have put a K&N air filter in our truck, but am kinda wondering about the 6637 mod, or maybe one of the aftermarket intakes, I do want to modify our truck, but I want to hear some of the options first, such as 4" exhaust, and 5" exhaust, and if anybody has one, a straight piped 7.3 that would be awesome to hear

 

From past to present,
Started with a 68' mustang, my dads 70' bronco(currently mothballed for me)
73' mercury montego broughm kick myself for ever letting that go,82' bronco,

PAID FOR !!!


See Sig....

 

Don't need to see the sig... seen it up close. One fine beast you have.

 

I guess that would be the Best kinda truck to have, Besides Free!!

 

I've had Ranchero's, Econoline's, F100's.
Currently 2004 Taurus (wife's ride)

1983 F150, 248,000 on the chassis, 300/4.9 I6 freshly rebuilt, bored .030 & balanced. Head & block milled .010, Head port matched W/Offy DP Intake and EFI exhaust, bowls and exhaust side polished, Comp Cam 260h W/lifters & springs, Holley 8002/450cfm carb, recurved DSII W/Mallory HyFire 6A box, MSD2 Blaster coil, Taylor wires, Walker Y pipe to 3-way Cat and Hi Flow muffler...That's MY ride!

 

my first truck was an 81 F150 with the 4.9 GREAT MOTOR!!! had over 300,000 original miles when the radiator gave up the ghost, and I was about to get married, so I figured better to have a "reliable car" so that I wouldnt be throwing good money at an OLD truck, wish I had kept that one

 

Daily Driver: 85 F-250 XLT SuperCab Lariat 4x4 6.9L IDI Diesel. Mostly stock for now, though it has some custom wheels that i have yet to identify, were on the truck when I bought it. Not planin on doin much to her, 'cept mabey a set of dual stacks, and mabey a Banks Sidweinder kit if I can find one used at a good price.

Project: (When I get it out here anyways..LOL) 84 Mustang SVO 2.3L Turbo Intercooled 4 banger, 5 spd. Great little car, fun to drive, suprisingly good on gas. Gonna do a lot of restoring on it when I get it out here, runs great but needs a lot of work electricaly and cosmeticaly.

 

I missed it. Did you ever say what type of "reliable car"? emmyndex drives a Honda so you wouldn't be the only one.

 

I second the PAID FOR! post, hate interest on top of payments.

'95 F350 4x4 big 'un. 460EFI, E4OD. 4.10 diff. Dana 60FF in the front. Manual 2speed transfer case. K&N air filter, but no real engine mods. Roll Along body and interior custom finishing, pretty good for '95. Type IV hitch that has towed 14,000lbs, overall GVW 22,500lbs for two 1000 mile hauls plus numerous other small tows.
Edit: Oh yeah, the heavy hauls were too much for the trailer tires, they're cracked and gotta' be replaced sheesh.



.
Other Fords in sig, plus a '73 Mustang i loved that car was an idjit for selling it. And a '75 E150 van that was a good one too.

 

I never said, but its a Kia, which currently has a blown head gasket, but I got my moneys worth out of it, and am planning on rebuilding it, sometime this year(if I can save enough money for parts)

 

I covet thy Ford!

 

I covet your Ford too. But I'd drive a Kia right now to get to school instead of a bus that takes an hour. That is if I could fit in a Kia.

 

Hey!!!........You gave your truck away.............

 

Hank Jr is a beauty, thanks Tows up to 14K lbs so far (22,500 gross on scales), smooth running and shifting, doesn't use oil, no squeaks, rattles or clanks. Can't pass a gas station but it's a keeper.

You've real nice trucks too, a diesel sure would have been handy for a few of the trips here. Mountains are a torque killer for me. (Is one of yours a diesel Snowbunny?}

You'se guyz stay up late! I'm an early bedder and riser :zzz:
