It is already a driver, sweet running flatty. I drove it on the trailer. I just hauled it back for a friend. I think if it was mine, I'd drop the truck front axle and put in a dropped F1 front end and rear end, shortened to take a pickup box.
Got Rust?

The wind on that lode would be a pain, but nice truck.

Straight on 30-40 mph headwind made the old 7.3 grunt. I ran 3-4 hours at 55 in 5th, wouldn't pull it in 6th.

I need a few of those billy!!!
I drove back from Virginia yesterday in the inland hurricane. I wasn't pulling a billboard tho thank god.
That trailer looks like the bearings could use some attention!
They're fine, just looks a little crooked because of cranking it into the driveway.
My big trailer was borrowed out and the guy who bought the truck assured me this trailer was ready. It was not only too light but had one of those adjustable hitches and they always pull crappy. Plus the brakes didn't work. You;d think by my age I'd know better than to trust someone else's judgement on things like that. I stopped after a couple hours and pulled the truck up as far as I could trying to get rid of the tailwhip but it still did it going downhill, despite having plenty of tongue weight.
