I have a really nice,original '68 Ford F250,& a
'94 Dodge Dakota Club Cab.
We've got 10 cars now,& I'm thinking that maybe
we should "downsize".The F250 is all-original,new tires-
($750),360,automatic,original paint,heavy duty hitch just
added,perfect interior.This is a "Camper Special",with the
tool box,dual gas tanks,& possible dual battery setup.
I've found a one owner,early '80's Ford F150 4WD,that I
can buy reasonably.Real nice paint scheme (Blue/Gold).
If I can sell the F250 for a good price,& the Dakota for
a reasonable price,should I buy the F150,& consolidate the
2? It would save on insurance,license fees,& (I hope),help
me get to work on the other 8 cars.
I hate to sell the F250,but it sits most of the time-
7-13 MPG.
Your thoughts?

Woah.

Is that guy a member here? If not, we need someone nearby to hunt him down and drag 'im in!
 
I'd keep the '68. That's a sweet truck.
 
Yes,we pay commercial fees on pickups.This is my "tow rig",
when I need to haul something heavy.I was just thinking about
selling both,buying the F150,& paying off the Visa bill,& having
a truck out of this deal.
Too many cars,& not enough money.

Stewart,

Does anyone know how to get ahold of him?

Doug,
Taken from the bottom of the "About this Mess" page on the website- "If you’d like to get in touch, please email me: roger ( at ) rogerlos.com"
 
That early 80's F150 is junk compared to to the '68. Dad had a '69 w/ over 500K on it. It took Katrina dropping a 80 ft tall double turkey pine on the cab to put her down......but ya know what?????? If you would have been in the cab you would still be alive. Ya might have a headache, but you'd still be kickin'. Try that w/ an 80's F150. Pull the 360, go modern injected 302 AODE like out of an explorer or 300 six w/ a 4 speed. You can't beat the 300 and you can't kill it. If you were closer I might buy it, but I'd have to ~STEAL~ it.

Keep the truck.
 
Just saw the pics, don't you ~DARE~ get rid of that truck !!!!!

Oh, take out that big heavy Dana and put a 9" in it. You don't need it and it'll help lighten it for milage.
 
Dude, look out you window.


See me yet?



No....over here.


Yeah....under that bush.





Sorry, I thought the link above was for you but apparently it's not. That guy has a nice truck though.
 
Some pictures of Doug's F250. Sure looks like a nice truck.

Man, what a MASSIVE trailer to haul that Mini on!! :wink:
 
That was last November.A friend loaned me that trailer
to haul a TD to Salem,Oregon.It drove me crazy backing it up,
with the axle set back.
BTW - that's our Granddaughter (now almost 5)"modeling"
for the camera.I was offered to buy the trailer,but passed.
