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.

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.

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

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