Post by 1968-f250 »

Your truck may be cool, but is it glasspacks through the grille cool?

Those only look like glasspacks. They are really periscopes for deep water crossings. :D

Glasspacks? I thought those were the truck's pedipalps. Whoever sits on the passenger side might want to wear a respirator.

Stuff likes this just gets me so angry, especially when it's done to some nice original or rust free truck like when people cut the wheel wells or just beat on a truck in general. If ya want to do that, come take some of our rusty piles from Wisconsin. :lol:

Pedipalps-that's a word I don't hear very often, and never expected to come up in a discussion about trucks. Thanks for that.
Also, I agree with the lamentation about the destruction of a good grille. Those things are expensive, and it is sad to see one cut up like that, especially for such a frivolous modification.

I kind of like it. Looks like the driver's pissed at his ol' lady so she gets smoked out and oil spots on her side of the glass. Of course someone dumb enough to do this must not have much experience with wing window wars.

Took my dog out to get some horse poop and had the wing windows all the way around acting like a scoop. Dummy wouldn't put his head out the big window like a normal dog but stuck his nose in front of the vent window and couldn't breath once the truck hit 50 mph or so. He curled up on the seat and gave me the stink eye until i closed it some.

Just awful. Seems like it would choke the exhaust anyways.

Looks like it dropped a timing gear or something!!

I'm thinking of all the work on the exhaust to reroute it up to the front. Maybe the headers can just swap sides?? LOL :lol:

My bet is for boat headers. It looks like there isnt even a engine in the truck. if you look close you can see a cooler then to the right of it looks like the ground with leaves and stuff. maybe the grill was cut for extra fog lamps or something? but im thinking the truck was just posed like this.
