I think Rastus is my truck's twin. Minus the door hinges of course.And the hood ornament.

 

I don't think the door was completely closed but he was getting a little saggy, like his owner.

 

This is Geronimo.

I built the stainless brush guard and the aluminum flatbed. There's also a 1-ton capacity crane on the bed, which you can sort of see peeking over the headache rack.

I've since added two cab clearance lights (yes only two, they're actually 1968 Volkswagen bug front turn signals... lots 'o chrome), and a rear-pointing spotlight on top of the headache rack, and a lot of dirt. Maybe I'll get a more current pic up here sometime soon.

That is a sweet looking rig you goth there. Love the bumper

 

mine in all her multi-colored body paneled, rusted-through, misaligned glory

 

The Land Barge will still be humpin' 20 years after I start Social Security....

 

Farmer said it,there are some great looking rigs on here,seeing em makes me want to go work on mine right now.You guys have loaded me down with good ideas.Now I just have to figure out which one I want to start with.........

 

One at a time!

I second this remark (or is it the third??)

Does Rastus have F-250-350 factory wheels on her? I've seen a set for sale here locally off a 2005, will they fit a 1st gen?

 

No, 99 and up superduty wheels are a metric bolt battern- 8x165mm i believe. We have 8x6.5. The older body style ford alcoa wheels will fit however, many people on here run those.

 

The wheels on Rastus are Mickey Thompsons I bought used that came off a '93 Dodge W250...they wouldn't fit a 2nd Gen. so the 'ol boy sold them to me.

 

Here's mine. I hope it posted.

 

I thought about posting pics of my truck but after seeing the rest of your trucks I don't lnow if I should. I think my truck has to be the roughest one on here. I'm in the process of trying to find body parts for it so it can look as good as it runs. I will post some pics so you all can have a good laugh. That is as soon as I wire the corner of my one fender back on.

 

Well, consider yourself lucky, johnny5.9....

I'm always trying to get mine to RUN as good as it LOOKS!!

We won't laugh! We love all first gens, especially those with the really good stories to tell.
