Good evening Fella's,
SteveSS in regards to your Ford, that truck would have come factory with spring over axle regardless if it was an
IFS Dana 50 or monobeam Dana 60 ...now they may be old and tired thus such a drastic negative arch.
And the fuel tank would have been removed due to corrosion, the mounting straps/skid plates Ford used to support the
factory fuel tanks caused terrible corrosion and the tank would start leaking....the easiest thing to due is removed
the tank and bypass the Frt/Rear tank selector when equipt with dual tanks.
Later got some work to due before heading to the rack.

So who is on your logger team?
Matt, Alan, Paul Shook, and myself. Rebekah is available also.

Excellent info. Many thanks.
Yup the tanks on Chebbys of that era had plastic shield which held mud, ice and salt against the tank and they would leak.

My late FIL had multiple ranch trucks from '88-'98 all were single wheel F-350 4x4s w/460s and either a C6, E4OD or 5spd manual transmissions. They would pull anything you wanted but but got either bad or worse mileage and the way he drove them he had a hell of a time keeping head gaskets in them. As far as springs go the 460 ain't light (obviously) and at it's age they're well due a replacement. My '02 F-350 has severely de-arched springs which I will be replacing this fall along with the shocks before I get an alignment done. They're the original leaves and IIRC the 7.3PSD weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 1100-1300lbs.
After I do that and IF I decide to keep the truck it will get two more strategic parts and possibly two others. The WILL do list is air bags for the rear (or possibly whole thing, with an in cab controller and on board tank and pump) and a new(er) lighter bed. The might do list would include a Gear Vendors Under/overdrive to help off-set the 4:10 gears and give me some splitting options while towing heavy and increase the overall mileage and a 5th wheel mount. If/when the 7.3 craps out, there WILL be a 12 or 24 valve 5.9 Cummins (or maybe a 6.7) going in it unless I find a steal on a IH DT466 or a decent sized Hino engine. Really, I'd rather sell it and find a nice 5500 Ram 4x4 that I could mount a 9-11' bed on and have a Bad mother of a wood truck.
As far as Steve's love for Chevies goes, I'd like to find either a 454 powered 89-97 Reg-cab 2500 4x4 for a kick around truck OR an '05-06 2500 reg cab 4x4 with the Duramax as those two years are near the holy grainl from a durability/output/(lack of) emissions equipment standpoint. I could also see and '01-? same setup truck with the 8100 like Steve's as that is definitely a RAT motor!

They have been advertising on the radio network down there that I will be there doing carvings so I may be tied up. We will have to see how it goes. I would like to though. What exactly are you guys doing in the competition?

Dozer decided he needed my muffs worse than I do! And both sets at that! When I confronted him this is what I get. Ignoring me and hiding behind the owl!!!!
