    Woooo for farm trucks and tow pigs

    I'm kind of late posting this since I've had the truck since October, but I figured I needed to get this up before I forgot. I bought a 95 5 speed 12V as a DD/tow pig/service truck/project truck/etc. I've owned/driven/towed with just about every Ford has brought to market with the exception of the 6.4, but the simplicity, abundance of MT trucks, and the RCLB sold me on this old girl.

    Dad and I run a registered Angus seedstock operation in southern Tennessee, so all of the aforementioned qualities are big positives, however, I bought a truck that was a hidden basket case (which is partially my fault for not looking harder at the truck before I bought it), so I'm fixing things as I find them, which is slowing the over all project down somewhat.

    Long story short, as a project, I'm going to be treading a bunch of already plowed ground building a tow rig out of as many factory Cummins/holset parts as I can. The downside is that this is probably going to take awhile since I'm not really going to have any time for this much wrenching till this winter, but hey, it's just more time for research!

    Welcome and congrats on the old girl. It looks to be in descent shape and not all rotted out.

    There are several spots of surface rust and a small hole in the driver side rocker, none of which really bother me. The interior isn't bad for an old 2nd gen either. It is the random, disconnected wiring that's the frustrating part.

    We'll see how it goes, I'm going to have to go off menu for a couple of things, but the idea is to be able to buy dealer off the shelf stuff for broken malfunctioning parts and still make respectable (~400-450hp) towing power
