            I have a weird soft spot for regular cab duallies. Very cool truck.

            160KMs 600cfm holley, shorty headers, 2.5" catted exhaust, 255/295 tires, cop shocks, cop swaybars, underdrive pulley, 2.73L gears.
            waiting for install: 3.27's, Poly bushings, boxed rear arms, 2500 stall converter, ported e7's, etc

                    I read that thread in the link. Real mean. I wish I still had one of the '73 F-350's that my father had at one time. I woulda liked to have dropped a 460 in one and used it for winter driving, pulling my '53 F-250 to the track (whenever that happens), and offroading.

                        Had to do a bit of a tune up on FT today. Plugs adjust carb a bit and timing. Ordered a new dizz cap.

                          Yeah, I like any 3/4-1 ton truck that's a regular cab, long box.

                            started it up a few weeks ago and it sort of sounded like the belt to the alt was squealing bad on a cold winter morning. It was the alternator it had locked up. it started working but gave erratic readings over the next few days. that was about 3 weeks ago. riain cold and snow kept me from working on it. One good day found the cables running to it were a bit burnt at the connections to it. Ordered a alt warranty free bee and plug harness. repaired the harness 2 days ago. alt still acting funny. replaced alt today all looks good battery charging properly.
