Please... Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.... I found a way to get to Maine without paying hardly anything for gas.... but it aint purty.... but it has to get up there for my father one way or another...

I'm heading up today in this hunk of junk.....

87 ford f-150 rotted to hell and back.... (spring hanger is barely holding the leaf anymore, and the rocker panels/other misc panels are MIA).... Gutless, tired 302 with a skip and possibly lower end knock...No keys... No ignition lol.... just a rod and an a steering colum full of wires.... a full 1/4 turn of play in the steering wheel.... Loaded with a rim clamp tire machine and a bunch of tires... not registered, but using a massachusetts dealer plate... Behind that is a 20 foot dual axle trailer that has a registation and papers... but no plate, loaded with a volvo engine, transmission, and rear end... two complete exhaust systems, more tires, an extremely heavy duty, 12 foot plow and a medium duty 6 and a half foot plow, both with their corresponding pumps, controls and truck mounts.....Not to mention being towed from a bumper ball 8O



Yeah... This is gonna be fun....
~Aaron

Sounds unsafe. I hope you have good walking shoes and a cell phone. Better take some spaghetti o's and stuff to eat while you wait for the tow truck to get the trailer out of the ditch. :lol: :roll: 8O

regarding spagetti O's and heating on the manifold: Be sure to open the can, at least a vent hole. Don't ask me how I know...

At least the can get's open easier, it think people can live on the couple of O's left on the bottom of the can if it splodes everywhere.....
