I parked ClifFord outside the house on Dec 24 after transporting my wife's Xmas gift in it.

Walked outside today, swept the piles of snow off it, opened the door, stuck the key in and the engine fired immediately.

Got it dug out and drove around just to blow off the cobwebs.

Woot

Nope, still looks like a Tonka truck.

When are you going to paint it yellow.

but not as busy as it looks like the yard was. Good thing you have Clifford the big red drag-yo-ass-outta-the-mud-vehicle.

When are you taking him to an autocross? That would be a hoot to see

Please find some time to paint those wheels. ClifFord would look so much better.

Was trying to figure out why this thing looked familiar...then it dawned on me. Our geotechnical drilling rig (bore holes) at work is on the same carrier. Our's is carb'd and is a hoss cat. Max speed of 50mph on the highway going down hill. 4 mpgs in the same condition. There's still something that's just damn'd cool about the truck though. We are putting the actual rig and bed on a Marooka track carrier soon, so I'd like to put a flat bed of sorts on this truck when the rig is gone.

He handled both jobs quite well, hell he didn't know that they were jobs.

Due to the purchase of Sampson, ClifFord is up for sale.

We just installed a 950 CCA battery, 429 EFI, 5 speed, with 4 wheel discs and maybe the worlds best OEM flares.

It is a dump truck so it rides like a dump truck, perfect for heavy loads over short distances or installing a dump bed.

Anybody here interested, if so message me.

I know but there are just so many I can store, Sampson is so much better for long distances.
