A comment was made in another thread about my rig so....

351C, 4 speed, remote mount overdrive, A/C, P/S
4 axle solid state brake controller
No wear surface has more than 40k on it.
Gas tank in cab is gone. 50 gal capacity in (2 tanks inside frame).
Seats are from a 84 Grand Marquis.
Looks? Kinda ugly
Cab is straight no rust
Hunt club green satin finish, Flat black trim
Dog house (2x4 and plywood), been there 11 years (needs paint again).
dog house as 7k genset and 8hp compressor both have mufflers under
the bed.
Bed is steel and extends beyond the frame by 2'.
(makes backing small trailers interesting at times)
Trailer- home made special for working on boats. Now only carries mine.
The Boat
1978 Stamas 23.6
351W(FWC block and manifolds), modified, WOT is 3800 rpm.
Volvo 280 drive
180 gal fuel
30 gal fresh water
1 group 31 cranking battery, 4 group 31 "house" (battery disconnects are S/S relays, one for each battery)
shore power connects to 3000W prosine only
GPS, Sonar, radar(not shown) 2 radios
12V fridge, microwave, sink, porta potty in the head with shower.
4 man solas life raft
Total gas used in 12 years = 44249 Gallons (figured I'd throw that in with all the cost of gas posts)
