ToDo-
- Align tailgate and install tailgate molding
- Spray bed - DIY Raptor Liner
- Need to fabricate a center console - that is a rubber tub from Ace
- Install 06 rear seat belts
- Install door pins to work the Amp running boards from back doors
- Finish rear bumper - installing in-bumper BU lights

Real happy with where she's at. Getting close. Can't wait to get that tailgate molding on and the bed sprayed.

Project Redneck Muscle Truck almost there boys.

 

Looks really good, toss up an interior pic...

 

How do you like that Lokar shifter and which one did you get?

Gotta love those seats!

 

Looks great. I have been thinking about a Lokar shifter as well. I have a C6, but it would look similar to yours. Was it fairly straight forward to install?

 

Really cool F250... Would love to hear more on your interior...power seats. I have my truck nearly complete except for the old original bench seat which I want to replace with a 60/40 split bench. If you have any information, would appreciate any information you might have. Thanks

 

Those polished slots look great!

 

looks great!

 

Looks awesome just wondering the paint code. Is it an original color or aftermarket? If I could just get the details on it that would be great.

 

Very, very nice.

 

Sweet rig. Nice touch painting the returns of the wheel slots. The devil is in the details!

 

Looks good! Are the two shifter boots molded together? It kind of looks like it in the pictures.

 

Love it. I'm so glad when I see a dent restored and not crushed. Might want to take a look at the body mounts in the back....looks a bit saggy in the middle. Maybe just the way it looks in the picture.

 

nice! looks sharp!

 

Sorry for the delay I'll answer all the questions now:
1. The Lokar Nostalgia shifter is the 16" version. It was a little difficult to install, but not impossible. The dual shifter boot (single piece of rubber) is if from a jeep, not sure what year, but it works perfectly for the application. I love the shifter. The only drawback is there is no backup switch for reverse lights, so you'll have to fabricate one yourself or install a switch. I haven't decided which way to go. Pretty lame for such a nice and expensive shifter.

2. The seats I got out of an 06 F150. I haven't modified the seats too much at this point, and only had to drill two holes in the truck to mount them. I did have to put a a section of tube on one side to level the seat. I think they sit about 2" high so I'll have to modify the seat to make perfect. PM if you need more detail.

3. It is not a stock Ford red paint. I can get the code if you want. PM if you want more detail.

4. The body mounts are fine as is the frame, etc. You can see from other pictures. There is however a bend in the bed sides from the previous JO missing the the 5th wheel bed mount thus bowing the bed sides. Not sure what to do about this yet, or even if I'll do anything about it. At some point it may become a priority.

 

to add to my other comment, i like how the inside of the rims are red and shows through the slots, looks good
