Re: Things that go bump in your town
The one with the camper looks like a Northeastern truck with all that rust.

Most older vehicles here in the SALT Lake valley are rusted. In the winter the DOT spreads 100% salt on the snowy/icy roads.FLATBEDFORD wrote:The one with the camper looks like a Northeastern truck with all that rust.

Re: Things that go bump in your town
Spotted this one in my driveway over the weekend.

Actually I saw this truck about 2 years or so ago at my local supermaket parking lot. I talked to the owner and we planned to get together. It took us a while with both our jobs and family stuff. He is registered here, but hasn't posted. We collected some firewood together.

His F100 has a 289 from a mustang and an auto trans. Its in pretty good shape for a NY truck.

Wow, I like that one. You're right, it looks pretty good for a NY truck.

Re: Things that go bump in your town
Yeah we had it loaded up pretty good too. It was sitting pretty low. I like the look of the 1/2 ton shorties. I've always been a big truck guy, but the little ones are starting to look better to me.

Re: Things that go bump in your town

I saw this one today. Thoe factory Ford shells don't fit these bumps too well.

Re: Things that go bump in your town


I think this one gets worked daily.


And this one needs a little more work.

Re: Things that go bump in your town
Did these trucks come from factory with uneven gaps in the bed to cab alignment? or does this happen over time? i know the front tires are a little off from each other as fars as the front of tire to front of fender gap.
