- Background/Plans
- I am the 2nd owner of the 76 F-150 and bought the 76 F-250 4wd about 15 yrs ago to haul my camper. Decided to combine the best of both rigs into one good wood hauler. It has a Warn upright 8000lb winch and a removeable 12ft boom on the front for pulling logs and lifting stuck cars out of ditches.
