Just for fun... January 25, 2007, 12:13:21 AM Hi!,Last summer I started to make a s, Looking for metal on the garbage Days on some cities around Me, One Day I breaked My universal Joint on My '80 van, so I "rented" the 4x4 F150 from one of My Friend (he already make a s collecting with his truck)...So, with this F-150 300ci with a rack on it it's much easyer to load a bunch of s compared to My van, One day the round was very very good and loaded this F-150 a lot (3750lbs If I remember correctly), a BIG load of metal, and other stuff...An hour ago when I'm searching on some directory in My computer I found these two pics I take when arrived at My home, It's amazing!!!, on the driver side the load exceed over two feet (tempo frame on the pic), I runned around 30mph on a rural road with this load, funny pics :D I don't imagine the cops see Me this night, bwahahhaaha!...Regards, Dom.
