Truck looks really great! I love collectable trucks.

I drive an old '89 Dodge. The old body style.
I always thought that body style was f'ugly!
I want to trade up but the cummins is running like a new one.

If i wasn't such an idiot and could figure out how to post a pic I would but i can't figure it out but anyway, I have a 88' ford f250 and a 94' chevy k3500. The chevy I drive around in and use for work for my self and the ford is just a work truck. I'd realy like to buy a new GMC 2500hd this summer, so we'll see, I realy want an extended cab. I'm also thinking about buying and ford f800 dump from a friend of mine.

Wow! You guys drive some nice lookin trucks!

I've got two trucks, I'll get some pictures once I clean them up a bit (had some fun with them in the mud last week)

84 Ford F350 4x4 460,C6,NP205 Dually
86 Ford F350 4x4 302,c6??, NP205 Single Rear wheel,

Both have custom built service bodies, w/ dump.

Don't tow a trailer, instead I had a funky little platform built that slides into the trailer hitch, holds my 21"s (saves some grief)

I'm in the hunt for what will be MY truck :) Being a JeepAholic, I'm searching for a Jeep Forward Control (FC170). That should grab some peoples attention :) It will probably get a Cummins 4BT engine just to make it really stand out! As it stands now, I use the 86 for running around to do my estimates, might have to resort to my Jeep if the phone doesn't stop ringing soon! That probably wouldn't be good, but at least they'd hear me coming about 2 miles away :)

First, you need to import the picture to your computer. To do this, you may either scan the picture, or use a digital camera.

Once you have the picture on your computer, logon to lawnsite and when you are in the post reply/post new thread page, at the bottom of the page you will find an option that says "Attatch File". If you click on the the Browse button, a window will appear. You need to find the directory the picture is saved in. Once you find it, click on it and select OK. When you are ready, click submit reply and the picture should appear on the post.

If the picture doesn't appear, the file is probably too large, you need to reduce the size (102400 bytes).

If your picture is on the internet, you can insert the picture(s) from there. Under vB Code on the post reply page, click on IMG. Insert the address of the picture (i.e. http://www.whatever.com/picture1.jpg)

If you still have problems, email me:
0ryan0@mchsi.com (0ryan0@mchsi.com)

Got my truck this winter. Ill post a pic in a few days with our setup as of now but it is a 1995 f250 extended cab 8ft bed 4*4 with a 460 v8 automatic. I have to get some magnetic signs and a new trailer hitch before i can use it for the mowers. It is just a mulch/grass hauler now and we been pulling the trailer with a 1997 ram 2500 enclosed truck.

Ryan,
Thanks for the compliment! The truck is a 2000 Chevy 2500 w/ the 6.0 300 horse motor,4 speed auto trans.. I've had it for almost 2 years and had 0 trouble with it. About the best money i ever spent. The trailer in the picture is a 6 1/2 x 16. I'm running a 44" Toro gear drive w/b(4 yrs old) and a 60" Hustler z(1 1/2 yrs old). All of my 2 cycle stuff is Echo, except for 2 Red Max blowers.
I also pull an 18' gooseneck trailer with a hydroseeder or equipment on it, somtimes both.

AK- That Ram looks sweet, holy crap would I like to sit in that drivers seat after a hard day.... looks comfy as hell. The bench seat in my dump is horrible.
SB- Got the straight lines goin on, nice.. is that a stander on the front of the trailer? It's tough to see.


Here's one more of uncle hoagies dumper:
