That is one SWEET setup! I've asked a LOT of the guys around here (West Texas) why they are determined to run the F350's/W3500's for a rig...and it pretty-much boils down to 'everyone else is' and 'I gotta be FAST to get where I need to get'...and I always end up thinking, 'wow...hard miles, going through a truck every year-or-two...get a class 5/6 truck and FORGET ABOUT THE REST!' Don't worry about space, don't worry about rough roads or overloading...carry what you really need without buying a 4500/5500 $100k rig... Truly the smartest setup you could come up with...so what if you're dropping in a new Cummins every 300k miles...LOT CHEAPER than dropping $100k or more on a new rig that you're pushing to its max all the time!
Thanks I appreciate it, Yeah I can carry all I want and tow anything without hiccups, truck was 3k put 35k on equipment and everything you see on it but sure is a lot cheaper to maintain this than getting a new truck
Daaaaam this truck is worth a lot of $$$ you really invest on your tools and machinery. Nice truck... Now let's hear it from a pov driving! Nice rig man.
That’s one hell of a truck man So you don’t have to pull two bolts out every time I check the oil how about putting two pull pins with Folding clips then you don’t have to take out two boats every time just to check the oil nice rig man
@@jamesrouse2245 no problem I had a hard time finding them until I said f it I’m getting them and If they don’t fit then id return them glad they did fit but you need longer studs
Did you do any motor mods to get it to go 80mph. Just bought one with the same drivetrain but tops out at 57-60mph. I'm guessing the governor spring needs to be swapped out first
@@notoriousfilms7798 that’s not bad! I’m also running 11x22.5’s on my welding rig but they are the old stud pilot steel Budd wheels. If I end up changing axles out I’ll swap to the newer hub pilots and some Alcoa wheels.
Truck is for sale $40,000 located in Rockport Tx (361)-413-WOLA
I have a 1998 F 800.
It's almost identical to yours but I have a dump bed on it. Nice set up you have.

Yes sir lots of money invested, I’ll see when I can get a POV video and outside fly by video
Is interesting to see how you guys in the US setup your trucks, as in Australia Both mechanical and boilermaking guys use the same setup .....
Never have i ever seen a ford F TRUCK or similar in a weldin truck in OZ.
Ive seen ONE 1990 f250 back in the day as one. That was cool.

Thanks I appreciate it, but unfortunately I do have to remove both pins to open hood/ check oil
Love the rig bro, awesome!

@@the_boatswain I’m thinking of 35k with everything you see, the truck itself sells for 10-12k when I bought it, it didn’t have a bed or any wheels

Bigger tires 11r 22.5 old ones were 19.5 265/60/19.5
Functionable ?
Runs drives and with heater at the moment no ac but that’s just a leak
What rear end ratio are you running, also what is your estimated MPG? I have the same setup with 4.33 rears, haven’t had it on the highway yet.
9 mpg highway 4.30
