Up for sale is a fully refurbished, F550 Service truck that I have spent an entire year working on. First let me begin that both the truck and the Maintainer service body were never exposed to any salt, so they are both completely rust free. The truck was a flat bed in Louisiana so it has had a very easy life, the body is completely rust free. All brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, fenders are perfect. It truely looks like a new truck underneath. The service body was used on sight in a quarry so it never saw a salty road. I spent a year looking for the right truck for this body. I built this truck to last me 10 years as I run a small independant mechanic shop. Well 2 months ago I recieved a job offer to work for a large Pipeline company, as faith would have it I could not pass it up. So now someone else is going to get a beatiful truck.
Begining with the truck, it is a low mileage 165k, f550, 6-speed, cruise, AC, tilt, Xl interior truck. The truck was fully stripped down to bare metal and primerd with Dupont DP epoxy primer, then the truck was painted with PPG White base coat and clear coat. The truck recieved all new light bulbs, new decals, New windshield, I fully serviced the truck, including new belt, fuel filter, engine oil and filter, new alternator, new batteries, new PTO, and new IPC sensor and pigtail. There are many more various parts which were changed, but after a year it becomes hard to remember them all! The truck has excellant tires, drives well shifts well(4th gear does sometimes grind on fast downshifts typical of ZF6's). Also the truck has lots of power, I looked for a 1999 because it had the best 7.3 diesel, with the true forged rods! Again the truck is rust free, Also I have driven the truck nearly 1800 miles as I bought it in texas, drove it across the pan handle flat towing my explorer, and then drove it from Florida to Illinois, with a 6000lb load on the flatbed. The truck does not use any oil, and does not leak puddles on the ground. This truck was made when the F550 was at the top of its game, this is not a Junk 6.0, or 6.4 diesel, NO EMISSIONS to worry about on this engine!
Now to the Service body. The service body is a Maintainer 11ft body. With a fully Hydraulic 2 stage 6000lb crane, Also the truck has a Hydraulic 25cfm air compressor, and a NEW Lincoln ranger 225 welder, the welder has zero hours! The service body was fully stripped, with the doors being soda blasted, painted with DP epoxy primer, then painted with Dupont Delstar enamel paint. I DID NOT paint the crane on this truck, as the paint was not bad, and to properly paint a crane it should be disassembled. Inside the Service box are 3 tool boxes, a parts bin rack, and a large hose reel. Maintainer is the Cadillac of service bodies, they are the best hands down. NOTHING compares to a Maintainer, period.
Im sure there will be a lot of questions, and I will take any pictures which are requested. I spent a ton of time building this truck, and spent a ton of time to perfect this service truck. Any one who wishes to see this truck is welcome to see it, also the truck is for sale outside of ebay so I can cancell the auction at any time, Also to replace this truck right now would cost over 115k!

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
