another addiction

Post by rattlecan »

Here is another FNG! Live out west in the "dry heat" of phx az, 118 today, too hot to work on it so I thought I would jump in here. Nice to see a site dedicated to these awesome trucks. My dad bought one new in 71 and I have been looking for the right one for a long time. Just picked up a 70 250 4x4 and I am putting a 7.3L turbo diesel in it. It will be used for fun and to pull my 69 BOSS 302 to shows. I look forward to talking to all of you as my newest addiction progresses.

Welcome Rob....glad to have you aboard. :wel:

Hope you don't mind, but since the pic of your truck was a little large to include in your sig file, I went ahead and resized it down for you, but then included the full-size version in your post. :D

You got a good woman there! :wink:
I love pugs, too. If my wife wasn't allergic to pet hair, I'd get one in a heartbeat.

:wel: Nice rig. I often think about an F250 with a diesel. My dream is a crew cab diesel. Good luck with the swap and post lots of pictures of your progress. :D
