What vehicle do you pull with (need advice)?

Here are some pics of the '94 Ford 250: 110,000 miles, 7.5 motor and 2X4. It drives good. Lots of power.

It squeals a high pitch sound a little when starting to accelerate but goes away. Might be a belt or vaccuum hose. Engine looks clean. There doesn't seem to be any leaks. Guy says there are 2 new fuel pumps but who know?

Breaks are fine but I will check and replace if needed. Interior is clean good shape.

A/C doesn't get cold so I will charge it ($70) or replace it ($500) and I will probably buy at least new set of tires ($500?) and if I can afford new wheels too! Asking price is $1800. I will beat the guy up (figuratively speaking) for $1200 and I will pay $1500.

I just looked at the pics from the previous posts. You guys have some nice setups; vehicle, and tractor/trailer!

Anyone else got pics? Let's see some more pics!

I know it isn't a truck, but my wife's Jeep does a fine job of pulling the BX2660. We pull the BX every weekend between our suburban home and our acreage (~20 miles). Does fine accelerating and braking. No problems at all. It is 4x4, and has the towing package. If I remember correctly it is rated to pull 5000 lbs.

Looks like a pretty good deal, one of my favorite trucks was a 90 F-150.

That a good looking truck, check the ball joints, more than likely their bad, normal for a Ford to be replaced.
