ok, so everybody loves Fords and customizes there trucks to meet there needs, mostly for fun and personal use. Who has customized there truck for work and what have you done?
I am a mobile vehicle and heavy equipment mechanic and i have a '02 F150 FX4. So far my truck is stock in the performance department but, i have added backup alarms, light flashers, on-board power supply and in the process of adding on-board air supply and permanent mount light bar.Also trying to hook up air horns to my air supply.
It would be nice to see other work trucks and what you have done to them.
I will post pics as soon as i get a new camera, being that mine got ran over by a skid steer.

My work truck........ Well technically not mine, I have a 2000 F650 right now, but in the next month or so my new truck will be ready... 2012 F750

Nice. I really like the F650. I had one in the shop for a few weeks. It had the 6.7 Cummins and 6spd. Allison trans. Now that is some fun trucking

OK, so of the almost 100 people that viewed this, no one uses there truck or has a Ford work truck other than me and Rollingthunder?

Here's the big ford truck we use at work, 1986 C8000. I love driving that beast

First work truck was a 95 F-800 5.9 Cummins(190hp) 5 speed with split axle- kinda miss driving that truck because I like split axles- but with only 190 it was kinda a pooch on hills.

Truck I'm driving now has a 5.9 Cummins that we have done some modifications to, marine injectors etc- dynos at 343 HP, not sure on torque. Has the 6spd allison. Not many hills that I can't run 65 mph on, I weigh 22,000 most days. Only 30,000 on the reman engine, but the rest of the unit has 415,000.he

New truck will have a auto trans and a 325 6.7, not crazy about the auto trans so I had them order it with a bit lower rear end to compensate.

Love to see the oldies but goodies still hard at work. Keep them coming. I am going to pick up my F600 in a couple days, i will post some pics.

How to you like that laptop mount?


I've always made mine, but thinking when my new truck gets here I'm gonna class it up a bit.... lol, something a lil better than angle iron and plywood

The laptop mount is solid as a rock, I use it daily.
