So I just can't stop apparently, I keep betraying all my previous vehicle loyalties. First I ditch the VW's in favor of Audi, then I ditch the Zuki in favor of the XJ only to in turn swap sides to the YJ camp, and now my Chevy heritage is going the way of Blue Oval. Worse yet, all my love of the Cummins engines (and I mean the big rig engines too) and here I go and get an InterTRASHional.
The Durango is almost gone and soon I will be in possession of my first ever.......... I'm almost shuddering at the thought.......... Ford truck. Its a 1996 Ford Powerstroke F-250 extended cab with a flat bed on it. 230,000ish miles, 4X4, 5spd, 7.3L, Superduty injection pump, variable setting chip, 5" downpipe back exhaust. Its pretty fracking ugly right now but its a great platform for not just a tow rig, but a support vehicle as well. I've got a couple different ideas in mind for how to progress with the truck. No matter what though I know I'll be installing some tool boxes and eventually I'd like to get a small generator and air compressor on it too. I think it would be awesome to have a generator capable of supporting a small Lincoln 110V MIG that I can load up with flux core and have on hand if needed. My Plasma is a 220V/110V variable input unit so it would be able to go on there too for trips. It doesn't cut the greatest on the 110V settings though (at least not thicker metals) so I might just opt for an oxy/acetelyne setup instead.
I don't have any pictures just yet, and she is definitely not much to look at right now anyways, but I'll get some up after I make it back from El Paso this weekend.
