Sorry folks for the delayin getting back to you, I frankly did not know I was accepted into the chapterdue to some confusion at the time I signed up. I am in the Eugene area.
I have been a Ford man allof my life, currently own 2 75 F250s. One is more of a utility truck, a F2502WD Super Cab Camper Special with a 360 and auto.
The other F250 I bought newin 75, it is a hi-boy 4x4 with HD options. Came with a 360 and 4 speed. Soonswapped out the 360 for a 427, added additional rear overload springs, a rearsway bar from a F350, and a front sway bar from a Chevy. Had a lot of fun withit, the looks on peoples faces when I passed them on long steep hills carryinga camper was priceless. After a while I switched the 427 out for a 428 CJ forthe longer stroke and torque.
One day I was driving on ahighway and fell asleep and ran off the road on a curve and head-on into a treeand then rolled several times. Neither the tree, the truck, or I came out of itvery well. The tree and I recovered. Checked out the chassis and it was good,though the front axle was bent. As I am a machinist by trade I made up afixture to check it and straightened the housing. While I was at it I added aheavy steel strap welded to the axle housing near each end and to the bottom ofthe differential housing. Rebuild all the gearboxes while I had it down, andchanged to 4.56 gearing and added a powerlock posi to the rear.
All of the sheet metal wasa loss, bought sheet metal from various local yards. Considering my experienceI added a roll bar inside the cab and did away with the cab fuel tank. Sandblasted it and painted it with red Imron. I had also painted the entire chassiswith black Imron.
At this point life got inthe way and it has sat for a number of years. I am now getting back to it tofinish out the cab, build a motor for it, finish the wiring, etc. Am planningto upt a stroker 427 back in it.
Thanks again for the greatwelcome and sorry about my slow response.
Thanks for the run down ont the truck, how long ago was the truck wreck? Also we will need pictures!!
