So I just picked this up this week, Its a fairly clean single cab, 4.8 V8, 5 speed:eek3: 4WD, 159k miles on it. Looks like this thing has 3.73 gears from the factory and its rated at 5500lbs towing.

Needs a few things like wheel bearings in the front, parking brake cable is broke. I will be upgrading to E rated new tires for towing, sounds like the throwout bearing is making noise too.

Future mods include plastidipping the wheels, smoked headlights, some sort of catback(this thing is super quiet), I am also looking at fender flares and could use some advice about what brand to buy.

Will be using it as a daily driver all year round and also will be using it to tow my cobra around to the local tracks. I bought it from AP Ford thanks to John Gomez aka Beast for helping out with the deal.

fix that rust now.... trust me. these things rust from the inside. I wouldn't be surprised if it rots through in a year

Yeah Im going to have that small bit of rust fixed before it gets out of hand.

Nice Chebby, turbo yet? :D

lol nope

well that's fucking awesome

Nice truck Izzy!!!

Thanks!

fuck i love those things..

your gonna hate towing with a short wheelbase truck!!

Why is that? not as stable? I am only going to tow around this area, GLD and Byron basically and only a handful of times a year since I can probably drive the car to Byron... street car lol

Very nice Izzy. Funny you are going all GM and I have a lot of Fords now.

lol
