Has everyone forgotten about plowing snow? Our company has an old 1990 Ford 250 and just about the only thing it is good for is a snow plow......partially because the only gear thats dependable is first

My truck is my mobile office which idles 90% of an 8 hr work day............dont tell chrysler! lol also used for pulling the dump trailer,picking up block,pre casts, lumber and anything else i wanna haul. Then on the weekends it hauls a 48 ft three car hauler with three mud trucks and fourwheelrs in the beds of the trucks out to the property.

I do work it occasionally. When you have a 1 ton pickup friends tend to ask you to move heavy stuff. This weekend I went with a buddy to pick up a pallet of cement for his addition. 80# bags x 42 gets the back end squattin' a little, but I still had 3/4" to go before the bumpstops. There will be pics when he emails them to me.

being a first responder/FF, my truck is full of "Personal" tools and whatnot used to do a "job". In fact in order to do things around the house I've got to go to the truck to get the tools
