Default My Old Truck

Thought I would show y'all my old truck, her name is Ol' Rattler. It was my grandpa that I am named afters truck, who died a few years before I was born, than it was my dads truck and now it's mine. My dad and I fixed her up after sitting out at my grandmas for many years, we swapped out the old rusty bed for a steel flatbed, changed over to a dual 4.10 rearend, repainted the cab, made up some bed rails, and as you will hear in the video I cut out the old rusted out exhaust the other day and bolted in a straight pipe.

1986 F250 6.9 Diesel with a Straight Pipe - YouTube

Future stuff I plan to do is get some new bb code injectors for a little more power, still got to find a dixie horn, and I have been considering sometime down the road doing a SAS. If I do the SAS I will probably drop some money into a turbo kit for a little boost.

Later!

Thanks man, when we got that bed it came off a driveway companies truck. The whole bed was covered in about 3" of tar, I tried scraping it off, heating it up and scraping it off (which really just made a bigger mess ), ended up spending a few days with an angle grinder and wire wheel and got rid of it. On the plus side the underside of the bed has a nice under-liner
