My First Truck

Got some pics of my first truck sold it about a year ago and havent seen it since Wish i didnt sell it now. Its an 87 f-250 351 windsor bored cammed intake headers edlebrock carb 79 heads msd bought it for $1300 with blown head gaskets did the gaskets and sold it for $2000 truck looked good but the cab was so rotten the floor was gone bed was shot and frame had heavy rust. Dangerous steering slop almost a full turn. tires were 44x19.50 boggers but they were dry rotted If it didnt have the rot id still have have the truck and wouldve put money into just didnt see it worth it and just made some money on it.

If I started with that, and sold it. i'd most likely walk in front of something heavy, and moving fast.

Maybe thats why they break with 33" tires. So small!

That reminds me of the guy a couple days ago that thought axle wrap was a "too little horsepower/torque" problem. Trucks with big hairy ******** for a motor dont have that problem because the tires spin so easily!
