max power Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Picked up a badass beater truck last week. Thought you guys might dig it. It's a 96 F250 4x4 5 speed with a 460 big block and 4.10 gearing. Steel flat bed, fifth wheel hitch, brake controller. 117,000 mi. Never thought my suburban would lose it's gas hog status in my fleet.Unfortunately, I can't upload pics. Guess the uploader doesn't like pics from my phone. Every time I try to put up a pic it says file too large. Don't know how to shrink down a pic from an iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Nice brute. That will pull about anything so long as you've got a wad of gas money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo72 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Nice. I have always wanted a crew cab F250 of that vintage. They are either big $$$$ or rusted beyond belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks Big Teem. This one is fairly rust free. The cab has a bit in the corner of the door bottoms but nothing like most. The frame has been coated and it doesn't leak a thing. I put new front brakes on it yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 BEAST MODE!!! I saw a NICE Yota the other day for sale by the AB plant thought about texting you, it was gone the next AM. Sorry, probably was a killer deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 While I'd love to have a yard full of Yotas, I don't really have a need for another, at least til I get the barn built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 So far I've put new brakes and rotors on it, replace the broken four-wheel-drive linkage, replaced the old shitty taillights with LEDs and have LED reverse lights on the way.Just once I'd like to buy something that doesn't need any work done to it.Can't drive it until my birthday because they wanted $25 more to tag it a month early.Screwed by the Man!

max power Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) The reverse and tail lights are LED ebay cheapies and they work great. Got about $50 for the whole deal. As you can see, she's been getting lots of use lately.That's 4000 pounds of gravel in the last picture.

max power Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Busted a rear brake line a few weeks ago. Of course, the line was so crusted that I had to replace the wheel cylinders too, and while I was at it, might as well do the whole rear brake assembly. $200 later she's back on the road.

Gixxus Christ! Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I used to daily an f250 with efi 5.8....cost me $75/week to go to work. This was with a stick starting in 2Nd and shifting at 1800 rpm. I miss having a big bad ass truck but I don't miss feeding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah, this pig gets 9. It only gets driven when it's necessary. Still have the yota for running around and the company truck keep the miles off of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
