ol_Blue97

Do you know the exact name of the color or your truck? Doing frame off this spring and I'm painting it a blue like yours.

Wow, hard to believe that's factory! Around here on obs, if it is factory, it is rotted. I'm from Ohio

Thought Id let you know, BEAUTIFUL TRUCK! I want mine to look like that when its done. I assume you did the body and paint work on it? Is that base coat clear?

Just thought I'd say i read your topic about the axle swaps. Looks amazing man! Is there any way to put coil overs on my stock D60 axle?

Well thats not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I like how you redid the suspension and I share the same sentiment that if im there... may as well. How many times do you take the bed off...right? lol Anyways thanks for the info, I have a new goal. I have that 4.10 gearing and I can cruise at like 65... :-(

If you don't mind me askin, how much did that whole process set you back? Excellent job btw - way over my level of knowledge but I would do it in a heartbeat if I could!

Love the wheels and tires that you have on your truck! How did you get those to fit on there? they look like wheels from a stock 06-07... where might I find some for my 96' 250?

I'm mostly retired from railroading now, but I am also a signal maintainer, diesel mechanic, DSLE, and engineer/conductor/brakeman for Huntsville & Madison County RR in Huntsville, AL. I used to own three of my own shortlines, but got burned out pretty badly and sold them all off in '06. I've got 25 years in now - where's the time go? I started out in NY/NJ working for Conrail.

Anyway, I work a few days a month in Huntsville running the trains, fixing locos, and doing the signal inspections/repairs. Two to three weeks a month I am in AZ building off the grid homes for people with more money than they know what to do with. LOL.

good good..... i see your new on here, how do you like it? what kind of truck do you have??

Hey hey to the site how things going
