Let’s see some minty old diesel burners… Here’s my current one, 1992 W250 6BT 5 speed. Just finished up a Move heritage bumper for it, burned it together with 7018, do not recommend stick welding a bumper if you’re in a time crunch lol ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/w86zeIL.jpeg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/MQpCegc.jpeg) Ben

my '99 Fancy! Looks like Huggy Bear would be sellin’ produce out the back! I’ve been wanting and older square body Chevy, single cab, short bed dually. It’d just be a play toy. Haul a boat, camper and what not. Nice trucks fellas.

I love older cars and trucks: no monthly payments, cheaper tags, love messing over the dealerships. In most instances they ride as good or better than a new one. Neighbor down the road had a year old Ford F150. Something went wrong with the transmission. It took over 6 months to get the part in to fix. He bought a Toyota and is in the process of selling the Ford.

Don and Sam, that’s one of my favorite Ford body styles. I had a 95 7.3 crew cab I sold to buy the shipping crate, loved that truck but with as much road burning as I’ve been doing the 4.10’s it had absolutely sucked. Really liked fuel..

When it comes to diesels, what's considered old? With the cost of these trucks, if it's a runner, most folks hang onto them

Like this one. 93 F250 Turbo. Had a couple of those for work trucks. A 92 and a 96. That’s my absolute favorite Ford body style. They did a great job on the interior layout in those years too. Sold the 92 to buy my first house and the 96 finally blew the transmission in 2001 after 200k miles so it got traded in for a 01 GMC. My current oil burner is an 06 Dodge. Probably not too old but it’s paid for. With the DEF, Emissions and cost; I probably won’t buy another diesel.
Yours in Liberty,
BL

You'd about burn the glow plugs up getting it started if it was cold at all, smoked like a chimney until it warmed up some, and you needed a 3/4 mile run to pass someone going 50 on a 2 lane highway, but it got me to work for a couple years! Lol.
