Yeah I like it!
Wish dad could have seen this one. He'd like it even if is a Ford.
Some people like their trucks jacked up with lift kits, mudder tires, and bling and toys.
Me...dual rear wheels, flatbed, or a box and hoist is even better, manual transmission with the lowest speed differential available, 4wd is good...very good. Have a couple extra springs on the rear axle so it runs downhill is as close as it comes to flash and flare.
If you ask me, all trucks should be a little jacked up in the rear with a couple more springs. It just looks more normal to me with those extra springs in the rear.
No show toys. It's better to have something that can handle the job...any job
So, I can't afford the fuel. But I can't wait to pull a wagon or the gooseneck with it. This makes the 1 ton with a 350 look small...like a dually sports car. Wife says I need to sell it. I can't sell dad's '89 dually just yet.
Funny how you can grow up with a certain style and carry on the habits of your father. There probably ain't 4 people here who would like a truck the way I described it, but man that's the way a truck should be to me.
My first truck was a '77 3/4 ton. It looked funny with single wheels on the rear with a flatbed. 16.5 duals looked much better. Yeah, a couple more springs looked better also. By the time we were done, it was more like a 7/8 ton. For a vehicle, it didn't fit in at college, but when you grow up a certain way, you don't always know what "normal" is.
My cousins first truck was a half ton with a lift kit. Dad thought it was ridiculous. A truck that light made to look that tough. It's still ahalf ton. You can't haul anything with it. You can't pull anything with it. He thought those big tires were actually harder on the light weight axles. My cousin is now 40 and still has a truck with big mud tires. He did wise up enough to get a 1 ton that is ig enough to pull a trailer.
Somewhere around '95 I wanted a car. I guess that's what people do when they get a job in the city and live in an apartment. The Monte Carlo was nice, but after a while you miss the duals and manual transmission. Sometimes it good to embrace your past.
One time at work I said "My life away from work is probably foreign to most people here and they wouldn't understand". The response from the coworker was "We probably all live are secret lives away from work."
True. Very true, but I think this coworker is a closet lesbian. In any case, we are who we are.
