I’ve got one of those weird Centurion VanTruck things with an ‘85 6.9L and an ATS turbo kit on it but the engine is no good so I’m currently having one freshly built for it. I bought the whole rig for $43 because it sat in the previous owners yard for two years with a rod sticking out of the oil pan. It’s got a pretty gnarly dually dana 70HD rear axle with limited slip I came to find out running some numbers. I’m looking forward to driving the thing, never seen another one on the road in person.

Your truck looks awesome! I love it when people take care of vintage vehicles like you clearly have yours. My 95 Super Duty was already suffering from torn seats and cracked dash when I bought it. I did replace some of the other broken interior pieces but had to go with a Carhart dash and seat cover. It looks good in my opinion, but your's should win an award. Great driving and shifting technique too.

Wait I got that beat. My fully restored 1979 Limited edition starts every time after sitting in the garage after 11 months. The secret is to shut off the fuel pump and run the fuel out of the carburetor before string the car for the winter. Modern alcohol based fuels evaporate and leave a residue in the carburetor, this debris clogs your jets and needles and auto choke assembly. The debris cause major issues.
