New tow rig

[1986stangfan]

Picked up a new tow rig for going to swap meets, car shows etc. I sold the topkick last year and have been waiting for something Unique that was Ford powered. Just picked it up tonight and so far I absolutely love it.

Going to strip all of the tacky reflectors and aftermarket lights off of it.

Where was the cars and coffee Mike?

[Laffs]

Is that a Centurion conversion?

[1986stangfan]

Where was the cars and coffee Mike?

It is every Tuesday night at trulls road church in Courtice

[1986stangfan]

Yes it is

[Laffs]

Yes it is

Those are awesome, were so wild in the day. We had a F350 (OBS body style) Centurion dually a million years ago. Solid wood all over the place including cup holders and console, CRT TV mounted, and all the fiberglass flares, visors and vents. Does yours has the cabinets in the back? Any idea if she was a factory long frame or did they extend it?

TBH the aero wing and chicken lights scream "Super Trucker" in a way that's almost endearing but I can see wanting to pull some of the Loves Truck Stop parking lot bling off.

Thanks Mike, might have to swing by one week.

I love it. Very cool ride.

Previous owner went extra tacky with those reflectors, what a champ

[1986stangfan]

Got some of the “tacky” removed tonight.
Still a long way to go https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230615/2882f986881f12520cf3a515b32fc2c8.jpg

Are you going to be keeping the roof mounted wing or replacing it with something more modern?

Plan to remove the boomerang but the “wing” will stay. I am going to lower the angle slightly since it is adjustable but I like the look of it

^^^its so much awesome, I love it!

Steering knob, CB, and that center console deserves it own thread!

[Gabe]

Interior looks great. I am guessing that it wasn’t a smokers vehicle?

Definitely not a smokers vehicle. There are little plaques everywhere that say “thank you for not smoking in my car” lol

[1986stangfan]

I didn’t put it there. If I did you know it would be centered

[1986stangfan]

This is the engine package that will be going in the truck at the end of the month. https://youtube.com/shorts/R_zYRQUM2Kg?si=vZpYL7UX9tP3fDQL

Looks like it's already in the truck.

Technically it is. Maybe I should just connect the driveshaft [emoji3166]
