Message: [QUOTE="pontiacross, post: 215522, member: 1263"] well as some of you may know last month I totaled my old tow rig after hitting black ice on a bridge on my way to work. luckaly I am still here but I did break 3 vertibrea in my back. long story short I'm on light duty for a while but should make a full recovery. my old truck was a 97 f350 regular cab 5 speed srw. not a whole lot done to it but it was very clean and I had a set of baby swamp injectors and a swamps chip it had roughly 227,000 miles on it [ATTACH=full]76812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76814[/ATTACH] so after searching craigslist for the last month I finally found the perfict truck to replace it with. however It is going to take some TLC...... the origional owner of the truck passed away and the truck has done a lot of sitting since. the guy I bought it from knew the origional owner but dosent know exactly all the details on it so I may be in for a few supprises. hopefully they are more good than bad here are the specs 97 f350 crewcab longbed 4x4 143,000 miles automatic that is supposidly going out but seems to be shifting ok what little I have drove it the front seat is red and the interior is brown... neither left door will open front bumper is rusted out left front fender has a rust hole but the rest of the cab is strait and looks good the bed is beat up on both sides and rusted pretty bad (fixable but I would rather just replace the whole thing) exhaust manifold leak runs good but wants to die if i let it idle (I think its a bad ipr) now to the good DMI rear bumper flip over goose neck ball traction bars mud terain 315x75 16's 75% tread on nice aftermarket aluminum wheels (I may sell them and go to 285x75 16's ) 4in exhaust aftermarket intake [b]hypermax h2e turbo kit intercooler not sure what kind I think it may be a banks cooler but that is a guess who else makes one for the obs trucks? swamps injectors we think they are 285/30's but will probable send them in to find out swamps tuneing head studs[/b] propane kit (for sale) pyro boost and trans temp gauges purchased for $5,000 so for now the plan is to get it running right, fix the doors, replace the front bumper, and swap in my old 5 speed out of the wrecked truck. then it shopuld be ready for this season then hopefully next winter I will replace the bed (maybe with a dually bed) and repaint the whole truck some other color than white......
