Introducing G.T.
This is G.T. which is short for Geraldine and Garvis Thompson They were my Grand Parents
This is before the alteration to the air assembly unfortunately the trucks quite a distance away from me so new pictures aren't an option not to mention both my digital cameras got stolen in the break in

eh I've had G.T. since 95 I'm the Second owner and the original owner custom ordered it from the factory. P/S,P/B,Cruise,Tilt,A/C,C6 Automatic,Dual Gas Tanks,4.11:1 Limited Slip Posi rear axle,Towing Package.........When I bought the truck in 95 it had a flawless paint job,body was perfect....then some drunk Dip SxxT Smashed into the passengers door which is why the mirror and the lower anchors are gone, then at some apartments the dent in the hood and the broken drivers side vent window occured some white trash took a baseball bat to the hood and some drug addict broke the vent window out causing over $100 in damage to steal a quarter and some gum Which to say the least ticked me off so G.T. isn't new to me and the engine has 475,000 original miles on it with factory perfect compression

Well presently it doesn't run the inline fuel pump that mounts under the cab that pressurizes the fuel is dead,the fuel tanks have the crossflow problem and the sending units in each tank are bad,it needs an exhaust system from the catalytic converter back,a power steering pump,solenoid,and a new belt,and for good measure I want to have the radiator boiled out too once thats done it ought to run and drive great....a idiot my mother had had change the modulator on the transmission without asking me first lost the pin and it gutted the original C6 but it's gotta freshly rebuilt C6 in it now though........the damage on top of the cab drivers side was caused by a limb falling on it had it not been for the headache rack the damage would have been extensive but overall the old trucks been good to me

Just needs some newer Ford rims and either adjustable rear air shocks or front F250 springs. I love it. The engine bay needs cleaned up. Otherwise it looks great! Ford long beds just apeal to me. I want want one pretty bad.
Edit; Why are the air tubes disconnected from the TB?

By that time it'd quite running because of the power steering pump freezing up and the fuel sending units and pump dying on me.....so no clue why the hoses were disconnected at that point.....and Quick if you want to be technical about it it should be G.G.T.T. Garvis Thomas Thompson and Geraldine Thompson I just shortened it to G.T.
