I bought the boondocker to replace the junk wfco converter right from the start.
Turns out the they spec'd a wfco but installed a proggresive dynamics instead.

Mods are looking great!! One thing to consider. Each mod is adding a bit of weight. My thought is you are already stretching the limit on that Bow Tie with out any extra weight!!

Just throw a chain thru one rust hole and out another and you could tear it in two pcs or just cut it loose from whatever is left of the rusting frame.

I believe this thread is off topic once again!! The truth is not being told here on the Powerstroke Superduty and I feel compelled to state that!

O they know the real facts. They dream of owning a ford !! But it a family thing in most cases. Now in Turbs case he might have an excuse. Cornfield dust has done its toll on him I believe.

Milk crates work good too for keeping propane bottles from falling over. But technically your not supposed to have any because they belong to the milk companies. Might have to return all of mine. Lol.
