New Toy: Franken F-250

Traded for this beast today. 1986 F-250 SCLB XLT/Lariat with Dana 60 Swap on 35's. 351 w/ 5 speed.

Truck is a real oddball, but I love it. 1986 cab/chassis, 1982 bed, 1989 motor/trans/EFI...although the air filter system is off a 96.

She's ugly at the moment, I'm going to get started fixing her cab corners this weekend. The outgoing truck (one I traded) was a 1995 F-250 RCLB that I had previously fixed all the rot on.

Not bad at all in my eyes. Bought the '95 running for $400, and upgraded to this

In all her ugliness

it'll be purple after I get all the bodywork done

she runs pretty damn good. has no problem spinning the 35" rubber in 2nd gear. has shorty headers. runs stronger than my '95 351...so I think may have some work done to it

Hard to beat a bull nose and someone was smart enough to Upgrade to EFI and not just throw carb on
