Re: thinkin about doing a flat bed lets see some pics

That's your opinion. If you think they're gay that's your deal.

Re: thinkin about doing a flat bed lets see some pics

Why not hook up a P.A. with a recorded message that plays on a loop as you drive around that says something along the lines of, “HEY, LOOK AT ME!!! I HAVE A DIESEL!!! LOOK AT ME!!! DOES THIS MAKE ME COOL?!?!? I’M OVER HERE, BLOWIN’ ALL THIS UNBURNT FUEL WITH MY LEADFOOT!!!”



I know...it’s just my opinion. I ain’t mad at ‘cha!

Re: thinkin about doing a flat bed lets see some pics

Well, I guess I'll post my before pics, which is now! This is an 86 PA DOT diesel C30 that I just picked a couple weeks ago for next to nothing. It has a TON of rust, even for the Northeast, but I can picture what it could look like...

lest we not forget the rubber balls hanging under the rear bumper. I mean the look is not complete with out a set of truck nuts.

I love diesels, I own one, but it will never have stacks, I think it is gay coming up through the bed. I have seen it where it looked good on a flat bed where it came up on the sides of the cab like a semi, but not something I am gonna do.

I figure people with stacks in thier bed just wish they were a big truck drive and cant come to terms with it.

Re: thinkin about doing a flat bed lets see some pics

I wonder if it is a cable that is twistable to lock it in a higher idle to be able to run a PTO like on a tow truck or anything with a PTO?
