The wife decided we needed a boat again, and wanted something with a flush toilet and big enough to sleep on. We ended up with a 01 242 Rinker. That led to the decision that my 03 GMC 1500 truck with the 5.3 was just not going to cut it so the search was on for another tow rig.
The search was on for a decent tow truck for under $10k, and I've got to say, there is a bunch of junk available at the price range.Finally found this clean little 99 Superduty, that had 180,000 miles, and a rebuilt tranny and was mostly stock. It also has the shift lever for 4wd instead of the switch. It has it's problems, but it is clean, mostly straight, the little things can be fixed.
BTW, if anyone has a set of rear leaf springs I need a set.
Going to add a leveling kit, new shocks, rear leaf springs, upgrade headlights, wheels/tires, and then fix all the little things, and add a programmer, intake, and turbo back exhaust.
