Re: New guy from Michigan
Jon, from SoCal. Your truck is great, but I gotta admit I L-O-V-E your straight axle Falcon Gasser, reminds me of the 60's...I was there and saw similar cars on the street and strip. Loved em then, love em now...

Re: New guy from Michigan
Welcome from NY. Always nice to see another F350 on here. Our trucks are unique in a couple ways from the little ones, but most of what you read here will apply. There are a few big truck guys here to help you out too! Was that a welding truck? Gonna build a ramp body or tow a trailer?

Re: New guy from Michigan
Steve, the truck is set up for a goose kneck trailer and I think that what its done it entire life, the bed is not beat up or drilled on at all. I am on the fence about adding a dove tail or just tow my open trailer with my car on it at this moment. Its really neat getting involved with it and learning about the different bumpsides. The truck is different that for sure.FLATBEDFORD wrote:Welcome from NY. Always nice to see another F350 on here.

Welcome from Asheville NC. That's a good idea matching up that truck with that gasser. Love that old school stuff.
