    That f-super duty isn't a powerstroke, that's an old idi turbo. It's very rare to find an old idi turbo.

    That camper looks like it was kept inside a warehouse or indoor storage and the building caught on fire, the inside looked really good, beside the outside panels for the water heater and furnace that probally melted from the heat it looked great.

    The F-Super Duty name was given to the 1-1/2 Ton & heavier Chassis Cab trucks. For the 1st-gen Super Duty in 1999, the F-450/550 names were given. Same went for the Econoline E-Super Duty/E-450.

    Hello Randy. The 1994 Ford F SuperDuty is a good looking wrecker. I'd love to see you bring it to the channel. The 2022 Ford Transit 350 is a good looking van even though it has damage to the roof.

    • @adamholmes91
      @adamholmes91 Рік тому +2

      The Tourneo is only the SWB low top versions, the one in the video is a MWB high top. I used to drive the LWB high top minibuses for events, looked less cramped inside than the MWB in the video. Nice to drive though, only thing i disliked was the 'stop start' system.

    F-superduty is a 450+. That's a wheel lift on the back of the erecker. Stingers are a tow bar on the back of a flatbed car carrier, to be used with chains with or without J-hooks.

  • @stuart_oneill
    @stuart_oneill Рік тому +5

    The tow sling is a Holmes 440 set up. the lower arm is different than I've see. I was at a tow truck company 16 units and had everything. This was a 90"s set up and I'd been out of the biz for 20 years. So it's a fixed rod similar to what was called in the 80"s a cradle snatcher. That is a 1 1/2 ton truck. That could be a very cool restoration.

Good Hard Working Units, I Certainly Remember Those Back Then, Lots Of Miles, A Half-Million To A Million Or So Easily, Like The Big Internationals, Freightliners, Peterbuilts, Kenworths Mack’s, Hope You’re Able To Bring It To The Channel..
