I haven't been on this forum in so long... I cannot believe this thread is still going. Shifty, you're insane man. Still funny to see all the crazy stuff you do, even better to see nobody has been hurt

 

yes sir still at it. havnt over loaded it in a while my buddy got an 2003 F250 with an 8' bed so we have been using that alot his son also got a 2001 dodge 2500. so my little F150 hasnt been called on in a while.

the shackles finaly gave out though. suprised they lasted 160,000 miles.

truck now has 170,000 mile and is running like a champ.

 

Well went through this whole thread sat night. a friend said "My chevy 1500 i over loaded with 2 yards of sod"i said oh ya you got pics? no i dont but it did it.

so i had him look through all 13 pages lol lots of good times. and he just wrecked his jeep and wants to cut it up and throw it in my bed to the scrap yard i said ya lets do it!!!

hahaha

 

Its alliveee!!! The thread lives!!!!

 

This thread will never die!!!

 

Shifty, I've been meaning to go through this thread for a long time. I finally just did, and you're a wonderfully crazy sumbitch

You should one-up yourself by towing a horse trailer with your Mustang

 

bahaha reminded me of this song.

 

LMAO! Love this thread!

 

Good song

 

Think you could do 6000lbs?

 

Wish I had pics of some the loads I've hauled over the years... Not so much recently, but back in the mid 80's..... Wow..

Anyway, I forgot about this and refreshed my memory on it and I still like Ford Trucks..

Yikes!

 

this is the MAX i will put on my truck.. to much respect for this truck still has the original 4.6 with 643,000

Plus this is why i have a F250 with modified frame and suspension lol if i want to haul overweight

 

Been my "working" truck since 1986, built my house, hauled cross ties, block, trees, gravel, but now she just pulls logs, occasional stump, trash that doesn't fit under the other truck's bed cover ... and of course, wood pellets. Not often but more than once has hauled 3k ponds. A ton is pretty easy but is about the most I intentionally haul on it, just need plan stops, go easy on the gas pedal like mash half way and let the engione just pull, it'll get there. 45-50 is plenty of speed.

Low compression 351M, C-6 kitted, 3.50 gears, it's a '77 F-150. I had two tons delivered today, they used a F-550 flat bed.


The old girl is partly stripped, gonna get new bed sides, doors, paint, fenders, tailgate too this fall/winter. Gonna go white, no race track, might add free wheeling vynil in spring. Only has a little over 105k. That is a oak pallet loaded with fifty 40 pound bags of wood pellets. When loading, we use the fork truck to set the pallet in the bed at rear, then use an empty pallet to push it forwards on the bed liner. If I need to haul heavy and can't use the '77, I use my trailer and the '07 .... to pull it.

Fun thread.
