Hypothetical crewcab build... Which way would you go?

[shady]

Most just quit shifting.... Mine twisted the main shaft in two, took the 90% of the teeth off of the planetarys, and broke the planetary cage lol. He builds trannys for the local drag strip and hasn't even seen a 700 come in like that. That's what happens when you treat a land barge like a drag car I guess.

And the idea of a stupidduty with a 7.3 was thought of. Be a much simpler deal. But I read so much bad crap that I got skeered and went Chevy.
That was my original goal when I started looking for a truck this last time. I didn't have time to fix anything and all the high miles in my price range bothered me.

They are pretty much as good as boobys when in good shape though .
One of my favorite body styles of ford too

Your dream is an underpowered truck?

Brian, if you're that set on trolling you're simply gonna hafta move to lower Michigan.

To many trolls, kicked me out.

 

[campfire]

Quick.

There are the quick and the hungry. Which would you rather be?

You were the least desirable troll?

 

[beags86]

Trust me I'm not hungry much.

 

[campfire]

Trust me I'm not hungry much.

No more sandwiches? Bummer.

It's been nice knowing you.

 

[beags86]

No I was only a peasant troll, the king lives in Windsor.

 

[beags86]

And let the record show I was done trolling in the thread.... I got shady and crayon eater....

 

[shady]

This would make a nice start..... Think it has a 4500 trans if I remember right.

I can get 2500 out of my burb in a day or 2 if I want, but I really don't want to go that low. Sucks the bank wouldn't give him 3500. Good friend of mine who just started building his credit.

That could be a cool truck.

 

[beags86]

That could be a cool truck.

Except that's it's a diesel gmt400

Coughprettygaycough

Once he swaps a 73-91 cab it will be

 

[shady]

Yeah that's what I was thinking.... Already SAS'd, has a Cummins, and a 6" change in wheelbase will put it just right for a CCSB square body

 

[shady]

I'm debating taking the 2500 from my buddy for the burb and getting that... I'd rather have a 4l80e, but I can always do that later. Cummins wasn't my first choice but I think it'd be just fine lol.

My only worry is PO cobble job BS.

Yep been there. I'll never buy a rig like that again. It was just a plow truck that I bought so I didn't care as long as it worked. And Technically it did, but what a pile.

Personally I wouldn't buy that rig.

You think you can look them over, but you always find stuff once you get home it seems.

Edit: plus Greg thought it was cool. so that's enough right there.

Guess me and my gay truck are done here.
