RFCDrum Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yea the biggest thing with them to get more power without turbo was intake and exhaust. It always ran good but some things with Ford I wasn't completely impressed with. I might have a more recent pic.

2stacksuperdog Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 A friend of mine has a 92. It has the newer style body with a n/a 7.3, he rebuilt the whole truck. It looks good painted black with dual exhaust, sounds good too!

RFCDrum Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I got a custom 3 inch stainless Y pipe coming off of the manifolds going into 4 inch with a Gibson straight thru muffler. I have a aluminum venturi on the air cleaner and some other stuff. It runs decent and sounds good.

RFCDrum Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 You know Tim the only thing I hate about all of them is rust. You can't fix rust. Rob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30144-my-main-truck/page/2/#findComment-169737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 You can stop it though. We had fuel tanks in both our F350s. One a 200 and the other 100 well some idiot filling them up decided to go to the bathroom while their being filling 60gpm anyways they have no rot in them at all.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ya Rob, east coast rot and up here hard to wash them in the winter. Everything freezes up. The new trucks rot ever faster now. The wife's 2012 F150 is showing signs of rust on the bumper.

jakebrake86 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm in love with your old 4 door one ton! My dad had a couple of '89's with 302's and 5 speeds in them when I was a kid. It's what I learned how to drive in. I always liked the hub caps and the chrome strip down the side. Just looked like it was built to work. How much did a truck like that set you back in '89?

RFCDrum Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 You know in 89 that type of pickup was an oddity in Bergen county. Not many guys had one. I gotta think. I know I saved 3 grand going to Breakey. I remember, $22,000.00 no money down $400.00 per month. That was a lot of money back then. I'll take a new pic today. Mack1928 those trucks are in really good shape. The green 1954 looks similar to mine. I guess the 2500 has a DT in it?. That Chevy is in good shape.

RFCDrum Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Who are these three retards? Me on the left ready to drop dead. Was working for a full year straight from beginning to end on the Rt 4 and 17 project in Paramus. Was working 6 days basically non stop. I lost almost 40 lbs (maybe it was the prescription speed I was on) oh did I say that? I told Leslie Demarino I'll take all the work you can give me. It was when I just got divorced from my 1st wife. I had a lot of bills. Got everything paid off pretty quickly though. Was also paving in between the New State Thruway for Yonkers too. Was a busy time.

We put diffs from a 72 "highboy" in it. The truck had the 4 speed. We also ran straight pipes on it. My father sold it with the property 2 years ago. It was a good yard/plow truck.
