Back in 91 I had an 89 F250 with the old"bug-eye"headlights and a 302 motor.

It was lifted 12 inches with 17/44's Ground Hawgs


Also had an Iroc Z - last year they made them. The international race of champions didn't sponser any more , they stopped making them.



Had a couple bikes too


Anyway , I moved to Florida in 91 and I pulled the Iroc down with the truck from Michigan. Before I left we went to the peat swamp and went crazy !! Truck was to the bottom of doors in the muck and I didn't even think about contaminating the diff fluid when this happen , sure enough, I didn't have the breather extensions so it was.

I pulled that car with my 17/44's on the truck 1700 miles along with the bikes. My rear took a sh^t shortly after arriving , when I drained the oils is when it came to me - A big expensive freakin DUHHHHH.

Back then Ford got there third members from Japanese Manufacturer and it cost me $1200 back then a piece.
