Looks like it's coming together nicely. That '80-something's looking pretty good beside it too - almost the same height it looks.

I gotta find me a project - watching threads like this just make the bug bite harder...lol.

Wow!
Love the work one so far.

Yeah. The 86 in the pic is my most recent project. Its a F250 6" lift 6.9 diesel/4spd. It is going to be a F350 w a D60 swap,Rsk SD springs, POWERSTROKE , 5spd, and a compete tear down and rebuild

I must say for an 80-86 that thing is nice...
is it just me or is it (the 86) cricked?

I just had the 86 shipped in from Oregon in the fall. No rust anywhere!!

It is sitting in a hole, thats why it is leaning

That's a big plus - no rust anywhere. Makes it so much easier to work with. I've got my eye on a 74 F-150 at the moment and while not beyond repair it's got all the familiar rust spots you see in this state...

Got alot done today, actually starting to look like a truck again. Doors hung and adjusted

. The inner fenders,rad support and outer fenders on(loosely). Some how i did not clean and paint enough bolts. O got the rad in and filled w coolant too.

Definately looking like a truck again, and looking good. At the rate you're going it'll be finished next weekend or something...lol...nice when you have the time to do it.

Diesel_Brad · #86 (**permalink**) 07-31-2009, 10:24 AM

Diesel_Brad · #87 (**permalink**) 08-01-2009, 10:53 AM

Painting some more today. Color is down, clear is next

and the mixing station

liftnw8z · #88 (**permalink**) 08-01-2009, 01:09 PM

I really like that color (even though I thought you said it was GM...lol ). Once you get that clear-coated I think it'll really pop out.

Diesel_Brad · #89 (**permalink**) 08-01-2009, 01:28 PM

And clearcoated. came out a lil orange peely but it will wet sand and buff out

Nice job!! that thing looks SAWEET!! And being from calif. I would have to agree with you, I have sold a few cars to people back east and they LOVE that it is rust free... and I thought the cars had A LOT of rust on them :P.
