Meet the new crummy

[northmanlogging]

Well fried the tranny in the ole one, so had to get a better one, 96 power smoke, 4x4, 5spd, power everything, ac that works, good tires.

This might be to nice for me...

The canopy will be going to the dump or a craigslist if anyone wants it.

Don't worry. The time will fix that for you. A good find!

late 90's f250's are damn good trucks. Strong and reliable. Friend of mine has one, he tried chipping it up to 350 hp. Truck span out on all 4 tyres on tarmac, had to tune it down again.

Nice looking truck, almost too good for a crummy.

Headache rack and fuel tank goin in the back ?

Don' look crummy to me, it looks right nice!

Man, I wish I had the extended cab on my '87 F-350. No way I would be thinking about a bigger one. I had it a bit overloaded last week, now the wife is trying to convince me to just get the pain over with.

yup, got the transfer tank, cb and tool box out of the old crummy this morning, to f'ing hot to keep at it for now. Its really amazing how much junk was in the old crummy, probably close to 1000 pounds of spare parts and tools.

Headache rack is mostly off, then Its reassembly time.

For now I'm still trying to run down the Speedo problem, new sensor new pig tail, still no go... fuses next, but it can wait till its cooler.

Great looking truck, I think that is one of my favorite body styles!

I have never liked the front suspension on them though. They always look like they have bent axles going down the road. They are a pretty easy swap into a strait axle.

only if the springs are weak,,or something is tweaked.......

With the mileage and time that many of those trucks still on the road have, any spring would go weak!

That is a problem. You should know you can't wear speedos in the crummy no matter how hot it gets.

 

[northmanlogging]

I put a hickory down first...

Now that's a mental image I could have done without.......

Northy what rig did you have for your last crummy?

 

[madhatte]

Nice rig!

That I'd have to see. My Dodge put over 500hp to the wheels and it wasn't spinning 4 tires...

Hard launches meant broken parts.. broke a rear end, trans output shaft, twisted a driveshaft, 2 torque converters, 3 trans rebuilds, etc.
