Re: Bumps At Work!
Thanks It's a 1973 australian Ford Falcon XB coupe (think Mad Max ). Stroked 351C (383ci) with a BW S400 turbo, currently just on 500rwhp with issues. It's in pieces getting sorted at the moment. I built the truck to tow the car to the drags, my nearest 1/4m track is a 10hr drive away in another state. So the truck will be doing plenty of work

Re: Bumps At Work!
This is a great thread just found it. My truck spends most of it's time in the garage but sometimes I let her out to play. she only gets used when I need to move or bought something that wont fit in the car. This photo was taking in Salt Lake city on our move from Des Moines IA to Las Vegas. The truck had the bed full and towed a saturn vue the whole trip. It did great and I could do 70 no problems.

Re: Bumps At Work!
Nice load Tony. I guess you weren't doing much highway mileage loaded like that.

No driving on the highway. Just from the wood lot to the farm yard.

Re: Bumps At Work!
Here's about a cord of green Red Oak from last summer. I have read that it should be about 5000lbs. This was from about 30 miles away. I ran about 55 mph on the highway with it. I had the back panels on for the highway.

Re: Bumps At Work!
Guys, After the truck is full, hook on a trailer and fill that..
PS If the fan isn't rubbing on the radiator it's not full...
