6-speed manual: 2005 Ford F-350 6.0L PowerStroke diesel

The 6.0 liter Powerstroke V8 was introduced to the Ford SuperDuty pickup in 2003 and it packed quite a turbodiesel punch.  In 2005, it was further upgraded to 325 horsepower and 570 ft-lbs of stump pulling torques -- which is very nice when matched to a 6-speed manual box.

Mid Week Match-Up: Band Bus For Jim

Today's Mid Week Match-Up is a request from Jim who writes:  I am on a band with 4 friends in the north east. we play local shows once in a while. So far we have been getting by with a couple of hatch backs, but now we are beginning to book tours regionally and multiple cars are not going to cut it. We need a vehicle that will carry a minimum of 5, bass, drums, keys guitars and amps. Room for a bed would be a plus. It has to be reliable and mpg is important.needs parkway windows. Could be a cargo van that we add an interior to. 10k is our upper limit but less is more better.  I am thinking diesel van but open to creative suggestions eg limo, ambulance etc.

 

Mid Week Match-Up: A Ramp Truck For SlowBoy

Today's Mid Week Match-Up request comes from SlowBoy who writes: I need a ramp truck. Road kill bought a sweet one for $3500. Classic Motorsports evidently got one, a nice 73 Ford for $2500. I really want one that isn't a rust bucket. I'm ok with topping their budgets, but I don't want to get red flakes in my eyes when I slide underneath to replace the fuel pumps.
