New truck!

[slowyellow]

The other day I was made an offer on my 01' F-250 that I couldn't pass up. (what I paid for it.... 5 years ago) So I let it go. And I got something that I've always wanted. My step dad had one and I have many fond memories tied to these trucks. This is going to be my daily, it's not perfect but it's in good driving shape. Freshly rebuilt 350, backed by a turbo 350. Should make a great driver. I picked it up 4 hours from me and drove it back. I got 16 mpg, I thought that was pretty good. Let me know what you guys think.

Oh, and it isn't a factory air car.... And it was a pretty brutal drive, lol. Don't know how they did it back in the day. First thing that I did when I got home was order a vintage air kit!

Thanks man. This is a 72' as well. I like it, there are a few things I'm going to change.... like the go kart steering wheel, lol.

Not generally a fan of those trucks, but that thing is tasty.

Don't cut that dash!

I daily drove a '69 3/4 ton from ages 17-19. Got 10 mpg. with a 350/400 combo and 4.10 gears. I loved it.

Yeah, I wasn't planning on cutting it. LMC actually has an original looking radio that can control a cd changer and has an input for an iPod on the back.

Not used to seeing those on the road in another color besides primer grey. Good looking truck!

Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to putting the a/c in lol. Anyone have experience with the vintage air systems.

I like the shit out of it. Was it over $10k?

Nope, I had to jump on the deal. I paid $6,500 for it. These trucks are getting more expensive than they probably should be.

Schwing! I used to have a '70 c10 long bed 350 3spd... oh that thing brings back yesteryear. LMC is a great source, but I'm sure you know that.

Way to go! Good color combo. The AC kits are real straight forward from Vintage AC, and you can't go wrong with their stuff. However be sure to check these guys out too....I've seen some of their kits and spoken with them many times....quality stuff at real competitive prices, and the added bonus that they are local to the DFW area if you run into any issues with your installation and/or down the road.
