Look what I found in the weeds of Nacogdoches, TX !

Hello guys, I been a member of the forum for awhile because of my 1973 Silverback Bronco resto/mod, but I am new to the F250 section !

here is my Bronco Sport with 331 stroker pulling my 4 wheel drive tractor w/ trailer and parts Bronco on it ! ^^



I found a cool F250 while scavenging for Bronco parts over a year ago. This guy had the F250 in a field under a tarp, He said it was a highboy F250 converted to a SWB and topped off with a 1969 Ranger body. I have yet to figure all the details out on this thing, so I am looking here for some detective work and help. It took a long time of bugging him, but he finally let me buy it for $1500. It has a manual tranny, 4 wheel drums, 8 lug, divorced transfer case, 35" super swampers.


pulling it out of the weeds!





Side view on trailer!


Was late getting home, at work today.. so cannot wait to get off work and do more research on the chassis and all. My plans at this point are to make it a full-blown show truck with a Cummins 12v in it

Should make for an awesome project, pretty safe to say you'll be the only one around with a short box highboy with a Cummins 12v.
