In general i like the truck, but as for the lift blocks, as if one isnt good enough he uses two..... and that would be a tie rod you see in the picture as well....

Moral of the story here is.......

Any guesses?

eBay Motors: Ford : F-250 (item 270306106300 end time Nov-29-08 17:00:00 PST)

Not just one block, but two stacked blocks out front, and a darn wedge. I dont know where to start. I am almost speechless.

Wow...........

I guess safety isn't as important as we all think. Probably been a garage queen for years, just cruise, don't use it.

If I'm looking at it right, only the passenger side has a wedge, the drives side does not. ??? Maybe a quick fix for a sagging spring?
The fluid is probably from the "leaky" steering box. You would think he could park it elsewhere for the pic atleast......

Looks like the axle is crooked and farther back on the driver's side. Front blocks are bad enough, to double the mistake, now that's special

Looks like a clean rust free F-250, WTF?, put new springs in front and go. Sounds like a bunch of small kittens around here.

5500 would get me a good start into my build.....

lets see that would cover some boggers, and most of my lifting....

and maybe part of my gearing....


Or about half of my build on my motor.....
