Aight, so we traded the dodge in for something a bit more suitable for the job of towing our rigs to the trail:

1988 Ford f-250 4x4 extended cab w/ a 460 gas guzzler. These are the pics from the guy before we got it, but we'll be getting lots more pics if it's light enough after work

The sticker needs to go, anyone have an extra "Got Marlin" sticker?

I'm with ya there. This'll do the job for awhile though. Plus, being a 460, my stepdad has 3 of them so if anything happens to this one we have backup

puppies, hell yeah,
a fullsize, gasguzzling, smog producing, cancer causing (at least in the state of CA,) behemoth?

my tow rig has a 460 as well, the sound of the gas sucking thru the 1/2 inch fuel line is deffening

Looks pretty good,I like it...Now you guys have to test out it's towing abilities

,just come down to the Hammers next month that should be a good test

...So now you should change your name to FordFreaKid

Am I the only one thinking outside the box tonight

Put the MIGO in the bed and tow the BLINGER on the trailor with the truck

DUH

*FFC* · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 21, 2007, 09:07:18 AM »

If I happen to get the Migo legal by then, we'll see

I doubt it though cuz I need a tcase overhaul and a new driveshaft on top of smog and registration.

It gets about 13 mpg

Which isn't bad at all for a 460. And no, his Dodge couldn't keep up with yours

Although I heard he smoked you out of Tahoe in September
