NY's 2013 The Fat Man is coming down the chimney BS thread

Man, it is hard to believe that we are getting ready to start the last month of 2013 and before you know it, it will be 2014! So with the snow that we have had and the colder temps outside, I invite everyone to pull up a chair, sit down for a spell and enjoy the warmth of the fire & to enjoy the BS

Got back from Chanukah and got a call from a buddy who fixed the brakes on his sleeper so went out to chill with him. he let me drive it and then a bad flare was found when the pedal went week (recently converted to mechanical brakes)... his dad came and we filled up the reservoir in the parking lot and tailed his dad "If you have to hit something hit me I promise I won't sue" Gotta love dads

Got it fixed and lost track of time.

night guys

Thanks I love this thing so much I wan't to hold onto it forever. 7.3 IDI + ATS turbo, C6 with GV overdrive. 4.11 rear... In 88' it came with oak interior panels + TV with that boomerang antenna I guess for the kids. I can go on for hours. The work was done by Centurion vehicles of White Pigeon Mi

Was hauling quite a lot of weight over the winter and the truck rode smooth beautifully with it.

One of my favorite things they did they stretched the frame and body; also in earlier years did that when Ford could not produce enough of the larger size trucks. They went from regular cab to crew, crew extended, and six door, maybe even six door extended but I have no seen any.

It was quite warm today so after loading a sun mig welder into my truck to get fixed for my dad I emptied and cleaned the hotub for hopefully the last time until spring.
