Bought a F-350 Duallie!

[JamminG4Jim]

Whoo-Hoo!!!

I found it on Car Soup.com and boy am I happy with it!

It's a 1995 F-350 XLT Duallie with a factory mounted Hideaway Gooseneck trailer ball mounted in the center of the truck bed! Also has the 2"receiver and 7-pin electrical trailer light plug under the bumper! 76K miles. One owner!

7.5L Gasoline (460cu.) with a 5 speed manual tranny with overdrive! Some paint cracks, etc, but nothing I can't fix! I towed my X last weekend with my F-250 with a 351 Windsor in it. Sucked big time! The 460 should do a LOT better!

Here's a Pic!

Let me know what you think!

Sharp looking rig. Enjoy

Looks to be in pretty good shape for the age of the truck... (not that old, but still 8-9 years)

Sweet! I think it would look pretty good with a cab spoiler. The kind that mount on the bed that look like l\.

*****in lookin flames! If I wasn't going to use it to tow my X around I'd use that pic as a template on what to do next!

Rick and Heath:
thanks for the kind words!

I plan to leave it pretty much just the way it is. Maybe add some running board lights, etc. Going to mount the CB, GPS and Radar detector tomorrow. I'm thinking about CB antenna's on both mirrors but I haven't found a set I like yet!

Now I should be able to road trip to phx next february for the explorer run! That's the plan!

Nice truck what is a " factory mounted Hideaway Gooseneck trailer ball mounted in the center of the truck bed!" ?????

Crankcase,
it is a type of trailer hitch that mounts in the center of the bed of a truck. It has a ball just like a "under the bumper" hitch. The reason it's called a gooseneck is because the front of a gooseneck trailer is shaped like one. goes up, over the tailgate, then down to the ball.

It is one level above a "under the bumper" style and one step below a "fifthWheel" style, which also mounts in the bed but is a lot like a 18 Wheeler uses.

Hope this helps!

I figuerd it was like that, but what would be the point, why not just go 5th wheel then?

 

[Robb]

A lot of equipment, like horse trailers, come with the ball-type 5th wheel. A buddy of mine has the ball-type in his bed and uses it all the time.

OH, and Great Looking Rig Jim!!!!

I found it on Carsoup.com for $9500. It was 100 miles south of here so I told the car dealer that had it that if they'd eat the sales tax i'd come down and look at it. I liked what I saw and got it for $8800.

You gotta be aggressive when you deal with car dealerships I've found out! Worked for me!

I agree, and I think you have done well for yourself!

New Dually Pics

Sooooo, If anyone's in the market for a 1995 F-350 Dually with low miles and recently replaced heads (water jacket leak NOT caused by heat, but by the previous owner) 84,000 miles, ALL the goodies a XLT comes with.

Asking price is $8K or B.O.
