I really like grey, and it seems you did quite a good work recovering that body.

Thanks guys. I collected OEM steel body parts for the better part of a year.

That's cool, OEM body parts are getting harder to find.

You said it's not even closed to being finished, what plans do you have for it?

I still have to install the rear bumper and my 15" Alcoas I'll be picking up tomorrow coupled with the 31" AT3s I just bought.

As far as body mods go, It's getting bedliner from the lower body line down, a tool box, and possibly a headache rack(built from scratch, not bought). The bed will also get bedlined.

Suspension will get rebuilt next. I have a 5.5" Superlift sitting in the garage with their old school boxed extended radius arms, a fully rebuilt D44 TTB with 4.10s. It's also getting an 8 lug conversion slapped on it as well as a Sterling 10.25 with a L/S. <-- Hence the F250 emblems

Here's my '94. 4.9L six. My favorite engine.

I've done alot of little repairs on it, fixing things done on the cheap in the past.

Amazing how the engine control computer will work when everything is connected properly!


147K on it. I've never had a 4x4 truck before. I like it, and the gas mileage is managable.

Here is a pic of the 89 F250 4x4 ZF5 351 after bringing her to go and get some wood on the other property. Slipped all over the place. I figured she would do better being locked in 4hi, plus granny gear, and that heavy flatbed on it not to mention the 16ft flatbed trailer attached.

Now just to try out the new pressure washer to see if we can get her cleaned up some.
