    Towing Long Distance

    Yea, I mean I drive all that way. There weren’t any more in that area I already checked when having breakfast before heading back. The seller thinks he has this million dollar truck, in my eyes it’s a 4,000 dollar truck knowing it needs a frame off. But it is what it is.

    life sure does do that. Yes, pictures of everything except the 2 holes in the rails. Pictures and video were all around what it really was. Just too bad. Very upsetting.

    Towing Long Distance

    Well I made it to Ohio and back, TRAILER ONLY. The truck I was picking up had rust holes in frame rails, so waste of time money and gas. But I will say the truck handled the trailer fine. Backing up and stuff no issues.

    So to follow up so far, picked the U-Haul trailer up this morning. Guy was very friendly. Trailer seems good shape, checked lug nuts and tires on it. My truck didn’t squat an ounce and handles it fine. But again, it’s not loaded yet. Bringing extra straps. Truck I replaced tensioner and idler...

    So that one in Arkansas is no bueno. Heading to Ohio instead. Makes me feel better as it’s closer.

    Towing Long Distance

    Actually @letitsnow , you’re dead on. My truck has 3.73s, 4L60e, 35s, and a 6” lift. That is funny. @RichLo you may be right. I reserved one just in case I change my mind with no deposit from enterprise trucks. My 95 is my every day driver, has been for years. So I know what she’s capable...

    I think I might honestly get a rental truck. Not that I don’t trust my truck, I do. But anything could happen.

    Yes I put new leaf springs in, it’s the bigger leaf pack I believe they are 5+1, so good there. As for the trans cooler I upgraded it when I did my tranny, it’s the Tru-cool Max bigger one and it’s right behind my grille.

    Towing Long Distance

    You make very good points. Alignment I did in August. I greased all the front end at that point. Rear end fluid I did 3 times when I was drive cycling the gears out, so did front diff fluid as well. Transmission fluid I changed about 4 times with filters after the rebuild for break in period...

    But just in general, my truck is solid so is my frame and hitch. Just want to make sure she won’t let me down, I’ll make sure I’m as prepared as possible.

    Towing Long Distance

    Thank you guys for the responses. The 4l60e I rebuilt last spring with new clutches and vette servo/billet OD servo, and replaced solenoids in valve body. I’m going the trailer route, not dolly. I have not went to U-Haul yet as I have to set a time to do it, prolly the next couple weeks. Yes...

    Ford Center Console in OBS Chevy

    I just took a pic of underneath, kinda hard but should help. So I reused the rear metal bracket from the original console, flipped it upside down, bent it a tad bit, then bolted it down to the existing holes on the truck floor and the console (see bracket in pic.) The front I bolted to the floor...

    Ford Center Console in OBS Chevy

    As requested from the other Center Console thread, I have a few pictures of my console. It is from a Ford F150, years 2008-2010ish. It has a lot of storage, I added usb ports/chargers, and cup holder lights, all ran on a relayed hidden switch. I took it all apart, cleaned and painted to match my...

    The Center Console Thread

    I believe it was out of a 2008-2010 F150 body style. Yes its definitely an upgrade from that skinnier lower broken console I had with no cup holders or room for anything. My seats have the armrests on them, but it’s nice to keep them up for more room and use the console lid for an armrest...

    The Center Console Thread

    I don’t think I posted my center console on here. I bought one cheap at a yard out of a F150 a few years back. It was brown and scuffed up and grimy. I took it all apart, cleaned every piece, installed lights and a couple usb outlets inside, put it together and painted to match. I like it cuz of...

    Bang for the buck Functional Renewal of rust belt '99 C2500

    Very nice truck! Especially one from up where we are. I’m about 40 minutes east from Syracuse, and I’ve had to travel to find vehicles, including my truck. I went to NC for mine as it’s rust free. I’ve replaced just about everything else except body+frame. But, you can’t fix rot. Gotta keep...

    Leaf Springs or What?

    So to follow up on this, I replaced my leaf springs yesterday, upgraded to 5+1 packs. Truck drove more straight, but front needed adjustment so I did my own alignment until I can get the truck on an alignment rack. Definitely an improvement and doesn’t pull hard anymore.

    Leaf Springs or What?

    Btw. The tires don’t wear at all and I bought them new few years back.
