Favorite Picture Of Your Truck

[UR_Mawm69]

I’ll say that it for sure wakes the neighbors up in the morning and the kids can hear me coming home from a good 4 stop lights away ha. I only drive it like once a week as a Sunday cruiser / 11,000lb hot rod lol… but it basically got a “ground up” every component rebuild so it’s essentially a brand new truck. The OBS aren’t getting any cheaper that’s for sure… and so hard to find that isn’t beat to all hell. Like any crew cab, it’s not a truck without a $7k audio system as a midlife crisis - but it makes me feel like the truck is packed with bitches in havasu…

This was pre detail / shampoo but Im not sure the rear seats were ever sat in. Fronts look just as good. Not a single crack in the dash or mark in the interior. Unicorn garage find originally now it’s even better.

HOLEEEEEEEE SHEIT

It won’t let me upload a video of the exhaust at a cold start, but it’ll be the best sounding OBS street truck you’ve ever heard

460 taken all the way until a 520. Just got x piped. Trans fully built with torque converter high lock out and all the race goodies. Rear is bagged with 4W disc conversion. 2 owner truck with every maintenance receipt.

The wheels were a test the market thing… and I think there is a market…

I had a 79 F250 that had a 460 taken to 521 , 9:1 compression, what a sweetheart of a motor

Call me crazy…. But I like the 460 over the 7.3…. Can have more fun with it and so much cheaper / easier to work on.

Next step of a motor upgrade will be $$$ and I’m more than happy with it. All mechanical components only have a few thousand miles on them and the truck was fully optioned. It would be a 130k truck to replace it on a ford lot today lol…

Agreed, I used to be wrapped up in the diesel stuff and at the end of the day I got tired of paying to play. Everything is so expensive and the newer diesels just always seem to have something to go wrong. Bought the 79 I had from a friend, he built it for truck pulls in the Midwest. Had somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-700hp, and could still tow a trailer with it. He used to take it bird hunting with his dogs. After having a 454 gmt400 dually and my 79, I really appreciate a good running big block.

I’ll jump in on the clean OBS post. Although this is the one that got away… still my favorite picture of the truck

Those are some nice clean trucks. Let’s bring this back to trucks built from a random collection of Toyota trucks/SUVs. One that sounds like metal can full of bolts bouncing down the trail. Made A LOT of good memories in this little truck

The 460 > 7.3 will and has been an argument as old as time. Id say they both have their benefits and downsides. I bet your exhaust sounds and overall drivetrain are fun (jealous), but turbo noises ain’t too bad. I bet yours pulls like a rape ape where as my 7.3 pulls like a donkey, but a donkey that will get you there! They definitely ain’t “cheap” to work on, but keep up on maintenance and they’ll last 500k plus.

Here’s some of my “least favorite” photos from the guy I bought it from. Best 2k I ever spent

Trucks that got away. Miss this clean ole GMC, got tired of two doors though. Had 30k miles on it when I picked it up

I bet it sounds awesome but......... for me........... a mentally, literally retarded, ex redneck turned yoga fag..........
I'd take a cold start of an old 7.3 over a 460 anyday. partly because it would make me smile and giggle for the first 15minutes of cranking it, but i love the RUMP............ RUMP...................................... RUMP.............................................................................. RUMP sound of the old diesels once they crank over. haha.

I had a 99', 7.3 on 39s that LOOKED sick as fuck, and only took 20minutes to start everyday.

oversized cam with long tube headers into 3” exhaust with an adjustable air / fuel knob sounds better… it’s like driving a jet boat except you remind yourself every day you drive it that you’re an idiot… but it’s SMILES PER GALLON
