Filmed in HD if you want to adjust quality. Uploading a long video of it, I will put it up when it finishes. I will get other photos up soon!
1973 Ford F-250. Four Wheel Drive, NP205 transfer case. 3-speed C-6 auto trans. Ford-Edsel 360 cubic inch V-8 rebuilt 30,000 miles ago. Dana 60 solid axle out back, Dana 44 solid axle up front, with 4.10 end gears. Factory air conditioning and power-assist steering. Manual brakes. It has 37" Military Grade Humvee tires. Stock suspension, no lift. Rancho RS5000 shock absorbers. Dual exhaust, straight piped. All gauges and lights actually work. Starts up the first time, everytime! Original paint, less than 50k showing on the odometer. Indestructible American truck!

Damn, I thought my bumpers were serious...
Anyway, highboys have their quirks like a low pinion closed knuckle drummed front 44, more ujoints than a napa store, non standard bed mount locations, and the most convoluted power steering setup designed, but good luck tryin to get it stuck. I haven't yet...

Yup! This thing is tough to get stuck, even in sugar sand! Some of the things on the truck, like the things you mentioned, are strange! So long as it runs, right? I like your wheels Adrianspeeder. Mickey Thompsons?
P.S. Just picked up a nice steel Delta crossover toolbox on sale at Atwoods for only $160. Heck of a deal for a locking box! I'll get some pics up of that and some off-roading video soon.

One of my old friends has a 74 f-150 with a bumper like that cept his has a winch in the middle. He bought it in 78 or so and still has it. That truck has done some truly outrages stuff in its life. In the crowd I hung out with back then thee is one of us who dont have a memory.. There was a 6foot tall chain link fence out back of a bar one night. My buddy mowed it down.. on and on so many memories heres a picture of it.
