Truck Is Finally Finished
Hey guys I finally finished my work truck what do ya think? I decieded to fix up the truck instead of buyin a new one. I did have to work out of my extra truck for a couple of months though. I did new fenders, new bed, sandblasted any rust on the cab,cleaned and painted the frame and a bucnch of other crap. I did everything except for the painting, it was a lot of long nights lol. The pics don't do justice u have to see it in the sun.

Re: Truck Is Finally Finished
I'm guessing 91,2,3
Really nice. I've got a couple I'd like to drop off if you're into Fords. I see new bushings there too. You use the LMC catalog for a lot of that? |

Re: Truck Is Finally Finished
Yup I know thats why I didn't want to buy a truck, in my opinion its one of the best body styles ever made, they are just tough to find rust free. I like the truck remodeling idea lol I can see the sale flyers now a free truck remodel with every kitchen remodel

Re: Truck Is Finally Finished
Nice but how much $ compared to a new one? A new one is much easier to write off.

Re: Truck Is Finally Finished
Well when all said and done I spent about 1/3 the price of a new extended cab f250 4x4. I know I could have even got probly a decent used truck for the price but I just really like the truck. Ya i know a write off would be easier with a new one. I'll just have to buy more tools to write off I guess

Re: Truck Is Finally Finished
i just sold my 97 diesel and i love that body style. i had thought about redoing it but just don't have enough free time right now.
you did a great job. and you are better off than going out spending 30-45k on a new ford truck. |

Re: Truck Is Finally Finished
Nice Job! I have a '79 F350 Dump that needs to be rplaced, but I can't find anything out there. Maybe rebuilding it is the answer.
