Tow Rig

BamaRob · Sep 8, 2009

I haven't owned a full-sized pickup since my first vehicle way back when (1972 Chevy C10 Stepside). I've been aching for a "real" truck for a long time. I picked it up this past Sunday.

1999 F250 Super Crew

I'm loving it so far, and suspect I will really enjoy it with my Mahindra behind it.

Looks just like mine, but I have an extened cab, not a crew cab. Those red trucks sure are "purdy."

Where you at in "Bama?" I was born in Florence, raised in Huntsville, and atteneded college in Ozark. I currently have lake property on Logan Martin near Talladega.

Looks like it was time. That S-10 with its hood open

was not much of tow rig.

Now you're ready BAMA!
Are you near the Dothan wiregrass area?

I'm in NW Alabama, Glen Allen to be specific, near the Fayette/Marion line.

And, yes, the S10 has seen better days. I put a new alternator on it Monday. I must say, it's been a good one, though. Nearing 1/4 million miles and it still runs fairly good, just uses a little oil.

My wife called yesterday and said, "I put your truck to work today. Your dad got his tractor stuck and I pulled him out." Wish I'd been there...

Nice rig, Bama! I've got one the same year, 2WD, club cab, 8' bed and 7.3 PSD it also has a quarter million miles on it!

The F250 has 143K on it.... I was referring to the S10 having 1/4 million on it. I hope to get at least 1/2 million out of the F250.

Yes, I understood you meant the S-10. I wasn't too clear on my response since I was refering to my F-250. I don't know about 1/2 mil but you've sure got more to go! Mines been pretty reliable. I've also got a F350 with the 6.0 and I'll take the 7.3 over it!
