Second try

[BDBoop]

My 99 v10 super duty gets the same fuel mileage as a 6L pos shivy, AND it works hard everyday and mucho better than any shivy. When I can find something economical and within my budget that can pull a trailer full of equipment I'll go for it, till then I got what I got.

Yeah, I think my next vehicle will be a Ford.

.......... and an engine on a board is a Ford.

The measuring tape is out in full force in this thread.

Yup, that's one of my babies and a real truck, not a shivy/wannabee truck/grocery getter. My other real truck is a 94 Ranger.

Welcome to USMB, Fordsflylow. Hope you enjoy the boards.

My first truck was a 76 F100, 360 V8, three on the tree, my second was an 86 F150, 300 inline, three on the tree now I have a 96 Ranger extended cab.
At one point I had a Chevy Luv which was really an Isuzu with a Chevy body wrapped around it. The only problem I ever had with it was the Chevy body, a rust magnet.

I have a feeling this poster is going to be arround for awhile.

that is a good thing

Not necessarily. You've been around over 5 years.

Real trucks do not have power buttons and AC.

My first pick-up had a crank. Yeah it had electric starter too, but I cranked it a few times. It was a 36 Ford. I sold it to my cousin in '74 and he still drives it. It still runs the flathead. It's decked and runs 10:1 compression and 3 Holley 2 barrels. Sorry lost all the pics in a house fire in 84, but it looks a lot like this one.

Glad you named this thread what you named it. I knew there was another thread, but it disappeared. Thought I was going mad(der)....

So a left-winged "Kook" like you drives an Internet truck like this. I thought people of your "ilk" were into conserving fuel, keeping the air clean, etc.?

How big of a carbon footprint does that thing and your mouth leave?

really? In an intro thread?
