Well its already done but ill go back. My friend calls me up says hes got this ford with a big winch and bumper its rough doesnt know if it runs asks me if i want it for free cause he only payed $125 for it and has enough mud toys, i said sure ill take a look at it so heres the pics has a 351m,ford 9" and 38.5 ground hawgs

When i first got it







After i inspected it i found out it had no spark plugs no oil filter and no oil pan plug, so it went swimming. i did an oil change in my jeep and used its old oil and filter and put it in this got it running but was running rough so i pulled the valve cover off and found 2 bent rods

So i wasnt gonna put much money into it and i bent them back with a hammer put em back in and it runs great

Back tire blown up

Ford 9"

Radio, CD and tape player

Sitting on its own running great



Playing around in the mud hole by my house






Got back and figured id check the differentials and sure enough front and back were full of water so was the tcase and tranny so i replaced all those fluids also found out it has 4.11 gears. then decided id paint it so i threw some primer on it


and bought this blue




But i wanted a name for the truck so i figure BIGFOOT would suit it




All in all i got about $50 wrapped into this rig, my friend gave it to me as a favor cause i help him out with alot of his cars, as of now it needs a new voltage regulator but its a fun truck. i went to the redneck yacht club yesterday with it and drove it around come back to camp and my friend said the original owner called said he wanted the gears and winch off of it, oh well lol

 

You make me sick! all joking aside that's one nice looking truck for free! welcome to FTE!

 

hahaha this rig is fun but that lil 2 barrel carb makes it act like it has a govenor lol but ill keep it on cause its good on gas

 

THAT'S a statement I've never heard ANYONE say when talking about the dentside 4WD
Seriously though, nice truck, especially for free and welcome to FTE.
Where in Florida are you located?

 

An hour from tampa and it being good on gas helps for muddin since im rompin on it but a 650cfm would wake it up

 

you're lucky as hell to have those tires, I want them for mine but probably wont ever find a set anymore.

nice truck i wish mine sat like that. It sits a little higher than stock but not like yours.

 

I'm just south of Disney, between Winter Haven and Kissimmee.

 

they pull good in the mud, couldnt really spin em they just gripped and crawled through the mud

 

they are pretty much THE mud tire to have on these trucks. It's too bad the factory went under and you can't buy them anymore. I bought one of the last sets for my 96 f150 last year.

 

Here it is at the redneck yacht club none of it mudding there though =/

Shortly after it got put on the trailer cause the starter gave out

Replaced the starter and made a lil ditch run behind my house this stuff was nasty





Got her a lil dirty

 

Im pretty sure this is what a valve spring is supposed to look like. got that fixed now waitin for the next yacht club to come along

 

Nice truck. Wish I had a friend to give me a truck.

 

is that a spray bomb paint job? Looks pretty good

 

Spray gun, did very little sanding and jus did one coat of primer and one coat of blue all in all like $20 in pain

 

nice job. I am gettting ready to paint for the first time. Where do you begin on sand paper? Is there a process?

1.) Sand (what grit)
2.) when do you prime after which sand and do you sand after prime, then paint?
