$1000? Damn steal... I want to get one of those, 4" lift and 35's, some stacks, HID's, and modernize the interior with some 2000+ SD seats. I can't find a 86 up here thats not beat to ****, or rusted to where the brake pedal pushed through the floor. Those old girls had character.

Mine squeaks and rattles when it gets warmed up. It's barely within spec as far as allowable freeplay. I was hoping it would last longer but I know at least one of the previous owners used this truck for a 5th wheel and I probably haven't been to nice to it either.

My new (to me) 7.3L IDI Turbo. 4:10 gears, S5-42 close ratio trans.
Pulling a old Ford 3000 tractor on a 20ft trailer. She would get pretty warm on the hills, but thats because I forgot to downshift
I was rather impressed with the old girl. Im curious how she will pull when shes tuned up

may not look heavy but it was full of wet foam under a rotten floor.... had to gut it and redo it from the stringers up. pulled like my big orange trailer with the skid steer on it...... we built it like a brick ****house so its still heavy.... truck pulls her fine but the brakes may need some attention.

i was told that if the foam were dry and the boat were to capsize then it would float longer with the foam in there...... seems rather pointless if she's capsized she's capsized a boat this size there is nothing i could do about it.

If ever lost at sea or capsized, ALWAYS stay with the boat. In the event of being capsized, the foam will keep it afloat so searchers/ rescuers can locate you (as long as you stay with the boat).
