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?

It's a 92-96 for sure. I'm going to guess '94. Really nice job!

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.

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.

Labors of Love are always long, hard work. But in the end YOU know EXACTLY how well the work was performed and knowing this gives you an unparalleled confidence as you roll on down the road.

Looks STUNNING!
