1995 F-350 Crew Cab
Hi all. Started talking about my new truck in this thread but thought I'd start a project thread for photos and so forth.
The truck is a 1995 Crew Cab with the 7.3 PSD. 260K miles but a ton of new parts. Transmission, ball joints, water pump, steering box, power steering pump, and many more. Body and interior are pretty bad so that will be the focus of my "restoration" work. This is the only exteror shot I have right now and it's from the ad online that I bought it from. Will post more later. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...350/truck1.jpg The first project was cleaning out the interior. It was fillthy and with a wife and 4 daughters it was pretty clear to me what the priority should be. :) I also picked up a 40/20/40 seat with the built-in console at a local junkyard as it just had a bench up front. I didn't take any shots before removing the seats so these photos are all in process. Filthy carpets. Seats are removed but no cleaning done yet. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...rtycarpet4.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...rtycarpet3.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...rtycarpet2.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...rtycarpet1.jpg Fortunately I have a hard working cleaning crew. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...elisabeth1.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...50/alsion2.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...tcleaning1.jpg What a difference 6 hours of shampooing and scrubbing can make http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...eancarpet1.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...eancarpet2.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...cleandoor1.jpg Taking a break on the redneck patio furniture after a hard days work http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...ofurniture.jpg |

I can't see your pics right now (work computer), but sounds like you have good plans for it. I know what you mean about the girls not able to get into it.
Good luck with the project and I'll check the pics later! |
You got a good start going there! Keep the cleaning crew going!

Looking good so far. I bought mine from a dealership in Oklahoma, it was a work truck for a rancher and the funnest part so far was removing all that red soil from inside. I filled half a 5 gallon bucket up. A good thing to have done maybe would have been to go ahead and pull the carpet out so you could inspect the floor pans for rust but also to clean under the carpet too. Good luck and keep us updated.

The carpet is pretty worn in places anyway. It's a ton better now that it's clean but I'm thinking at some point I'll want to replace it at which point the floor pan inspection is a great idea. Although the undercarriage looks pretty good considering it's a Utah truck (salt).

Looks great! Mine will need some body and paint like that but sadly I don't have a Dad to teach me. You're lucky. I'll either stumble through it or break down and hire it out.
