Farewell F-250 HELLO NEW SCOUT!!

[6.9poweredscout]

Well after the static i had on friday, my friends dog ate my cell phone after it fell out of my pocket. no insurance on it so i figured i may as well up grade...another $300 later i have a new Driod. i'm almost up to $900 for the weekend!! i went to pull out of wal mart and POP BANG BANG the rear driveshaft gave up on the 250 . I'VE HAD ENOUGH!! i get on the phone with my friend who wanted to trade my 250 for his rust free '74 scout, he agreed and i told him if he ***** me over i'll never help him again. i took the title down and his wife is doing the title tomorrow at her work. GOOD BYE 250 HELLO SCOUT!!!! it's a '74 Scout II with a 345 automatic,3.55 Dana 44's front and back with a 4" lift and 33" tires. also have a soft top and next to no rust! i'm going to oil the fenders and undercarrige to finish up the winter. i'll post pics after i get it.

I could never trade my truck for nothing

but either way i hope your happy with your decision on the trade, but atleast you will still have a IDI

 

[6.9poweredscout]

if you had the weekend i had, with your truck, it'd be either trade it or burn the SOB!!!!

Man, that truck looked good belching black while wallowing in the snow. Not sure that helped the driveshaft. Maybe by the time you want to get off of one of those nice Scouts, I'll have the money to buy it for my wife. Ready to see the pics.

Did you save the 37's for your IDI Scott?

 

[6.9poweredscout]

nah the 250 chewed them up, plus the wheels were scummy.

Isn't the 250 your tow vehicle?

I thought you were saying farewell the F250 because your IDI scout was complete and you were going to drive it all the time. Not that you traded the F250 off for another scout.

Your IDI scout is going to be done in time for and at the Rally this summer.................. right??!!

And you dropped your driveshaft because..... you had not looked at your U-joints in a millenia, bought the cheapest ones you could when you did and... because of the bad Karma that radiates from Walmart. Seems to me you have no right to complain...

I'm just guessing of course, but it's the same story whenever I hear it. Scouts are your passion, so naturally your spending all your time there.

A swing and bam!!! Looks like its good enuff for a double and an RBI. Mel slides into second base, safe!! I was also dissappointed to see the quick jump onto the "Ferd" bashing bandwagon. I do hope we still rate above the smallblock bowtie wearing crowd.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

the 250 was my tow rig, but come spring time i have a 1 ton scout for a tow rig!

if all goes as planned the scout should be wrapped up next month because it's goin to new jersey wheeling in may!!

hahaha yes i'd only ever own a ford second to a harvester! they're smart enough to use Harvester power, and they can actually build a frame that doesn't look like paper!!

Where at in Jersey are ya wheeling? Anywhere in my neck of the Woods?
