Im not happy with it, its got a cat engine but the truck sucks. There are plans to change it over to a Mack. I have two other Macks that I love.

I see then that you are past the honeymoon period with your love.
I hope your marriage lasts and doesn't fall apart.
Thanks for the story.

Dave I am budgeting in a month to two months tops on restoration mostly dependant on when I start into it. I think today I will pull the bed and nose and try to put another nose on the truck with the original 74 grille and fenders. I could keep you all posted on my progress if you're interested?
Yes and please keep us posted on your project.....

Hmm...I can't say that I remember seeing that truck specifically. It's certainly a good possibility. I will keep my eyes open for one. You can recognize my truck without too much of a problem. I also have the CT Chapter ford sticker on my back window.

Here are a few shots of my truck at work plowing in the winter:
2006 F250 Super Cab Lariat
20" Harley wheels wrapped with 35" Dick Cepek FC II's
Daystar leveling kit with F350 rear blocks
8.5' Fisher MM2 plow
You can see some of the hideaway whelen strobes behind the grille in a few of the pics...
