[Workin' Rig]

I know that alot of them are show/mud/pulling trucks nowadays that have been all redone and restored and shined up and what not, but i still use my 77 and im wondering who else out there still works there....post up pics of em bein used....

Ill start...

77 F250 Towing my 30 Ft 6500lb 2012 salem travel trailer....

Doesnt do bad for a stock 400M with a C6 and 3.07 gears.

Mine still works. General hauling and towing, whatever I need. I might have a working pic or two in my gallery.

That's a nice looking '77!

Love, love, love this.....my favorite dent pics, believe it or not are the ones in which I see them working....same if I see them on the road. I get more excited when I see a working dent than when I see a show one.

Pretty cool! Can't wait to see more working dent photos!!!

These trucks were made to work!

I always thought these trucks would look good with Gen 9 wheels, and yours does Workin Rig.

I've got a couple pics somewhere around of Red hauling a load to the scrap yard, another load to the dump and another with a load of firewood. Quick look in my gallery says they're in my photobucket.

Great topic for a thread Workin' Rig. Also you have a very nice looking 77 and with the new trailer adds up to a great looking combination.

Also Ken I am happy you were able to use the "Like" button a lot.

One typical work day in the life of my truck. The good part was that there was a lot of them over the years and my old dent was very faithful to me and my business.

Thanks guys for the love for my old 77...she is in pretty good shape, its got a lil rust and a few dents but still in great shape for a unrestored 77...it actually just turned 100,000miles .

I tow that camper all over with it, havent gone super far yet with it but i think itll do good. The biggest issue im having is with the carburator (it needs a rebuild bad, it is running pig rich to the point it wants to stumble and stall under certain conditions, but is fine 90% of the time ), also i kinda wish it had atleast some 3.54 gears, but all in all it does damn good

Can't get any better than a yellow dent pulling yellow construction equipment!

Not exactly working,........ but it did haul the camp trailer 200 miles from 3200 ft to 8500 ft.

Dang Doug, I thought you had a trailer queen!

That's like the bumper sticker that says, "If you see this vehicle on a trailer, call the Police; It's being stolen."

Just out of curiosity W'R....what do you get for gas mileage pulling your trailer and empty?

Ken.. thank you for more "Likes" on the old truck.

Doug... nice picture of your truck camping with your camp trailer. It makes me wish we still had the old tent-trailer as they were just so much fun to camp in.

Thank You, Randy. I agree on the popup. We also have an 18' that we use, but when I go for short, unplanned trips, the popup is so much easier to just hook up and go.

I want that bumper sticker! I need one for my Harley, too, because it never gets trailered anywhere!

Can't put one on mine cause although she's not a trailer queen, she's pretty close and only comes out on decent days (no rain) and just use it for tooling around town for errands and such.
