    Got a new beater!,,,

    I traded in this Silverado SS.....



    for this......



    Its an 02 true blue with 67K miles. So I have found an upper/lower pullies, cat, maf, Afro dual pass heat exchanger with fans, and a shitty exhaust. Gonna put it not the dyno soon to check the tune and then enjoy!

    Wow - that's a lot different than my definition of a beater! Nice!!

    Also - was that your green GT at the GPMC show on Sunday? If so...WOW! Is that the rarest color made that year?

    It was an electric green car very similar to yours. It had a KB on it also - I'll see if I have a photo...

    I'm definitely jealous. I was kinda looking at lightnings when I bought my mustang. They are nice trucks for sure.

    Nice truck, ironic you posted this because I have been on the hunt for a Lightning or early Harley F150 the last few days as my 91 S10 beater is starting to get a little tired. Now will this "beater" be driven daily and actually used as a truck? Keep us posted on how it does if it isn't a garage queen

    No it won't be a garage queen. But it won't be driven daily either due to the fact I have a work vehicle. I will use as a truck when I need to haul something and will possibly tow with it occasion.

    I had the SSS loaded with scrap 2 days after I bought it and even took it up into the woods to help unstuck a tractor for the father in law lol

    Steve call Toothman Ford in Grafton and speak with Brad Summers. But hurry it won't be there long. I doubt you really want it it has tons of issues.
