Not so PSD

[1970Custom]

seeing as most folks here have nice new SD PSDs I thought i'd share my not so PSD.

So its not quite so purdy but it gets the job done.... as soon as there's a new clutch put in.confused

Any body else have an older oil burner to show off?

From what I can tell from your pictures, short of the paint, your truck looks like it has a real decent body...

It needs a new bed, the current one is falling apart at the seams; I can't close the gate w/o a strap between the two sides.

When I do get it painted it will most likely be this color combo.

might not be pretty but it looks like it can handle any job thrown at it.

Its got the heart f a PSD.






That's all that matters.

It's gotten a bit rougher looking after shredding a couple tires, the box is getting beat. Rust hasn't done a lot of damage, but some. Cab and front slip are clean, just the bed sides , more the driver's side, that are bad.

What size is that goose neck and how well does that truck pull it? Reason I ask is because that is the primary reason I'm getting this thing running again, need a puller and my 5.0d F-150 just isn't going to cut it.

That goose is my father in law's 24', when I pulled it, I was running the stock setup completely, hadn't done a thing, and it did it ok, but was poochy. Now I run a 34' deck 2 car hauler, and while it doesn't set any speed records, it will do the job.Heaviest I have scaled with scrap hauling was 24,500, which floored me I was that heavy. I knew I had a load, but that was a bit much. It did it, pulled me down to 45 on some of the harder grades, but nothing like the mountains you have around there. Now when I had it out east to New York and Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, it got more challenging pulling my sister's 5-horse trailer with living quarters. With the critters and all on, total weight was at 20,000. With 7 mile long 7% grades, it got me down to 30 at the worst, did that twice, the rest of the time, I held at 40-45. It also depends on your diff gears, I have 4.10's and a 4 speed. I can guarantee though it will outpull the 5.0... Mine gets right with it when you step into it. May not run down any 460's, but it will get going pretty good.

Someday my truck will look like that Man that ain't a truck, thats a WAR WAGON. Thats what I bought mine for, to work it hard. There ain't nothing wrong with the looks of that truck man. That truck has TUDE

Fellro, I've got the 4.10s too and I'm going to be swapping a ZF in with the clutch.

Gunner just wait, I'm going to be building some custom spring packs and adding a bit of functional bling, and I had to laugh about your war wagon comment because just yesterday I had a revelation on what to paint it....

You'll have to let me know how the ZF swap goes, but it may be a while before I can dish out that kind of cash...

The ZF was given to me by a mechanic of mine, its missing the shifter and doesn't stay in R, he said its about $120 for the gear and fork and it'll be good to go.
