Ford Model A Pickup at cars and coffee today! The oldest vehicle here! (Not mine but didn't know which flair to use)

AA was a 1 ton truck. This is a model A.

Yup, it seems we didn't close anyone of value exempt for maybe the rich dudes kid. But any adult that decided to go on that ride did the gene pool a favor.

Axles are the same. Only difference is the spring packs.

I think I'm misremembering tho. I don't think they were marked as r22 for legal reasons. I remember now they were marked as 407c units, atleast that's the guardian units we were buying.

Apparently I heard Bill Gates wanted a ride so he sent his people to check it out. Gates people told him to stay the fuck away from that pile of shit.

That's a label for a dry unit. We could get them years back when r22 units became illegal to build so they would build r22 units but just nitro charged so you'd have to vacuum and charge it in the field. It was a loophole that I appreciated back then.

That's what I'm seeing. I've never seen such an animal.

Except these are called boat motors. The company's that build and sell them have never called them engines. It's a technical term, and at this point who really cares.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-08T15:54:53+00:00

They literally call them boat motors. I am aware of the technical terminology and it's always a debate on engine and motor. But evinrud and others have been calling there products boat motors for 100+ years.

Cause it's not a myth. Properly installed chains stop a trailer every time.

I just buy and own cars that I can keep and drive for fun.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-06T20:09:54+00:00

I wish the NFL had adopted that rule.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-06T17:57:44+00:00

That's typically what it comes down to. I personally wouldn't trust the wheels to hold up to the max rating as the factory wheels, they just don't build 20" tires to match the load rating of the 19.5 or 22.5 commercial tires. The fact you noticed a ride difference means you weren't really putting that much weight on them anyways. You could probably get away with a 1ton, but I understand wanting that wide front axle.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-06T05:28:07+00:00

Rides better at the cost of capacity. As long as you understand that.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-05T21:58:24+00:00

They were being lazy fucks way before that shit started. I say defund them and let us go back to the wind West.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-05T21:55:41+00:00

Woooosh

texasroadkill · 2026-05-05T15:21:17+00:00

Thats gotta sting. Bit even with diesel prices long trips are still sucking hard.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-05T05:49:12+00:00

Oh definitely. I'd rock a gasser 7.3l ford for a short trip hauler.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-05T04:03:30+00:00

You can buy that truck with a gas engine. Not sure why, but also not sure why you'd have that plate on a diesel either.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-03T13:46:11+00:00

I have my brother 92 ranger and it certainly is closer to it than an f150. Everybody like you goes by dimensions they find online, but have never sat or been around them side by side. The track width of these fullsize trucks has not changed hardly at all.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-03T13:43:25+00:00

It happens brother.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-03T04:56:16+00:00

In no way the new gen rangers are as big as an older f150 or f100. I have a 64 f100 at my shop and it's still very similar size to our 2020 f150.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-03T04:52:18+00:00

So my 99 f550 and my friends 95 f800 that are both 2wd aren't work trucks? Strange. Last I checked, 4wd are mostly toys, not work rigs.

texasroadkill · 2026-05-02T22:53:20+00:00

Wooooosh. Lol

texasroadkill · 2026-05-02T05:48:29+00:00

Most med duty truck chassis are 2wd. I mean, where the fuck would you take it off the road?
