New(to me) truck

That’s a good looking truck.

Yeah, she’s got some money into her. All the deletes, true bulletproofing, Garrett turbo, sct tuner, etc. etc. I have it tuned for towing. Not trying to get there fast just without knowing anything is behind me, haha.

Thanks! It usually gets a lot of looks rolling through town.

I have a 2006 5.4 f150. I bought the Lisle kit because I wasn’t sure when the plugs had been changed. Removed all of them no issue. :blush:

Just tentatively bought an old Coca Cola vending machine delivery truck. Has a tommy gate which I’ll sell. My shop landlord has a dealer’s license and goes to auctions for fun. Assuming it passes inspection and it’s mechanically sound when I dig into it on Saturday I’ll hand him cash.

Is that a diesel?

No. 6.0L gas

That’s a good strong engine. It’s a pig on gas but it will pull a house

This winter I’m going to have to put 4 machines on two trucks and find 4 full timers to man them by spring. Haha biting off more than I can chew and finding a way to chew it…

You will have a week to pick my brain in January. I’m looking forward to that.

I had a 2500 hd and loved it. The only thing was it was 4wd with 33’s I got 10 mpg down hill with a wind behind me

Putting the machines on the trucks will be the easy part. Good luck finding people to actually run them. I’m having that issue right now. My experience with hiring is pretty much that just about everyone is either incompetent, lazy, or already employed. I meet guys all the time who need work ( who seem like good guys) but after working with them for a few days, or hours, I understand why they needed work to begin with.

@Kps0410 Just wondering if you ever got this truck setup and have any pics of it? Does yours have the flip up lids on top of the boxes? Just wondering how you mounted things up there if so? Thanks!

It did have the flip up boxes. I pretty much had everything on the trailer. My son got him another truck so I sold it and got my hemi back. He’s been driving it since his wreck in July. The ford did great except when trying to pass. I like the power my dodge has along with it having 4 doors so I can get my kids and grandkids in

Wish I had known you were selling your other truck, I’d like to have a service bed like that. Maybe one day!

Not that there was anything wrong with it but I don’t like selling anything to friends that could break down.
