F-350 Build

I'm starting this as a time line of my build. The truck is a 1986 F-350 regular cab 4x4 with a factory dana 60 front end, 4spd overdrive and a 6.9 diesel. The plan is for some engine work and in the end for it to look like it did when it was new.....so here we go!





This is the day I brought it home

I decided that with as much work that I will be doing on the engine I would be easier to put the cab and front clip off

I love watching these builds, because I can't afford to do mine. Are you going back stock with the engine, or are there mods in plans?

Looks like a sweet truck. Are you going to be stripping the frame down and painting it? Looking forward to more pics.
