I finally have a shot at ROTM!!

Well I don't actually have this truck anymore, but it was my last diesel, actually it was my last truck.

This is my 86 F250 with a 6.9 non-turbo International Diesel. I knew every square inch of that engine (inside and out) after a few years... I could change injector pumps in the dark while wearing a blindfold (in under 15 mins). HA! But I still loved that truck! It was a 4 spd. manual and I remember putting it in 1st gear (hi range), standing hard on the brakes, and letting the clutch out with the engine idling... and it wouldn't stall!! Notice the vertical black line on the front bumper... that's from heating it to bend it back straight after hitting a guardrail (I thought I was invincible in the snow ). And the bottom of the door was cut off and patched with some sheet metal (we have really salty roads in the winter, rusts them badly).

My new 07 F350 King Ranch CC SRW Shortbox was just built on Monday... can't wait for it to arrive... and I'll treat this one a little more carefully than I did with the "old tank"!
