Project Farm Truck
 
Well here it is I bought this truck for $800 after I wrecked my Ford Ranger.

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...psaf51fad5.jpg

I literally bought this right off the guys farm. Couple things were wrong (actually alot of things) but I needed a new vehicle.

First off was the frame. Back half was rotted off.

Got all that fixed with some 4" C channel. after that was to the front end. New bushings tie rod shocks and coils.

F250 coils and shocks

After that was to find a better bed because the one I had was so rusted out.

Found this for $100 bucks

Actually only cost me 50 cause i scrapped the old bed at the same time.

Picked up a can of spray paint just for the time.

Built myself a headache rack.

And then i went to the junkyard and found a new grille and front bumper.
