What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I used to always eat the things I'd never buy myself on work dinners. Add a side of king crab legs to my steak? Don't mind if I do! I really miss the expense account at my last job.

 

I'd love to have her

2001 Ford F-150 4x4 F150 XLT 4WD 2dr Regular Cab Truck - cars &...

 

Just needs a supercharger!

 

I don't need one. But I'd only drive the truck on nice days

 

Sure is in great shape. I havent been in the market for a truck cents 1999 but the price doesnt seem bad.

 

Not for how clean the truck is. I love those flaresides. Used to have one but she rusted out.

Now this would be a nice solid work truck.

2007 Chevy 1500 Single Cab Long bed 132k Miles - cars & trucks - by...

 

Like this.. Im thinking more room in the back. I had a chevy flareside and loved the look but there wasnt much room in the bed.

 

I don't think it makes that much difference compared to a straight sided short bed, a few inches around the wheel wells. But a long bed is definitely ideal for a truck doing a lot of work.

I guess it depends what you're doing with the truck too, if you're hauling rocks etc you'll run out of weight capacity before you even fill up a 5' bed. What I like about an 8' is being able to shut the tailgate on plywood or the like.

 

Me also.. The truck I have is reg cab 8 ft box. I did roofing, siding and carpentry and it was great for that.

 

That's a nice truck. Looks in good shape

 

Thanks. Its a 1999 with about 40k on it. Havent used it much for the last 10 years because I was working at home.

 

What engine?

 

Interlaken steamship Co is having a new lakes freighter built. Can't wait to see her done

 

Its got a 5.7 v8.. It likes gas

 

I bet you could get some great pictures of it.. Sure have enjoyed them.. Never seen much in the way of ships.

 

Good engines though. That's the worst fault about big trucks, especially older ones

 

I love ships, but haven't had to chance to catch many lately. Working till dark every weekday now with the days so short.

 

I'm still kicking myself for not buying a truck a few years back. It was 2005 3/4 ton 4x4 with 8.1L and 30k miles....could have taken it home for next to nothing back when gas was coming up on $4 a gallon.

 

Good thought Eric. I had forgotten about that. When I looked into it, I was on o2 with activity and when I was sleeping. So didn't qualify. But look into it.

Glad to hear that.

 

Mine gets about 10 mpg if its empty or loaded. I didnt mind so much when I was on the road making money with it. Used a car the rest of the time. With the price of new trucks Im going to keep it as long as I can. I think the 8.1 may have been a better motor.
