Just wanted to introduce my winter truck, witch will be replacing my '85 E350 Diesel van for winter.


It's a 1994 F150 SWB 4x4 5spd, 300 straight 6. Did a clean bricknose front clip swap to it.


Also, i'm gonna have abit of fun with this truck, making it look like a grandpa truck. As you can see, I've already started

Next summer will be a tu tone Brown/Tan paint job as well.


This is what the truck looked like when I first got it.



Poor thing was pretty beaten up and dirty.


This is what she looks like now!







Interior all cleaned up. Not to perfection, but I hate working out in the cold, further details will be worked out next summer.


Clean, good runnin Straight 6!


Oh and heres a pic after putting the bug deflector on



And don't think I'd be getting stuck anywhere with these on

 

pretty hard to beat the f150 w/300 truck all around.thats the best ford built engine ever really imho.
man,that sure was a clean front clip you scored.i bet you didn't find that around home lol.must of scored the super clean front bumper from same truck i bet?

 

The fenders are brand new after markets, thin cheap ones. Hood is from around here, not mint, but nice shape. Bumper is also from here, and is mint!



It's all extra parts I had laying around, so I figured, might as well use 'em.

 

obs killer they need to take ur tools and lock u in the loony bin

 

I can honestly say you are the first person I have seen change TO the brick...

to each his own

Just givin you some sh** a lot nicer then all that cancer from before.
The dog dish hub caps really complete the grandpa look.

Oh and with that topper, you are really transferring the raper look from the van to the truck, lol You need a mattress for that baby.

 

Looking great, and I like the brick nose.....
But, you might want some smaller tires, the ones you have look just a bit too big for that grandpa look!

 

Looks awesome!
So pretty much you are making you truck into mine!? I got mine from my grandpa! (may he RIP). But you are doing the same paint scheme as what I have now! See------>

 

My kid won't even let me take his 94 short bed same 5 speed and 300 for a spin. I wish I had another one as they are so much fun to drive and kinda remind me of my 79 F150 4speed 300 I had when I was 18.

Here is my kids truck

Lucky kid to have a good looking truck like that!

 

I saw this truck forsale on craigslist haha

 

Haters gonna hate. The brick nose is way better than the OBS and the people that ditch the brick need to just buy OBS trucks and leave the bricks for us purists to ****** up. My precious...

 

lol.tell us how ya really feel.
you'll like this one then.

you know,looking now.even the 8th gens (didn't go over that well by most at the time) still are better looking ford trucks than the 99-present super duty.
they still looked like fords.super duty to me,just means new dodge copy cat.cus thats what happened.

 

Yep, that's exactly the look i'm going for! My will also be, brown on top and bottom, and tan in the middle.

I was also thinking of putting aluminum running boards like that, but go full length, just so I can add lights in them, but since this is a winter truck, those running boards are bad for trapping salt and will rot the cab out, so i'm just going to cut out inserts into my tube runners and add lights in those.

 

The only thing I like about the OBS over the brick is the location for the power window/ lock switches. Admittedly it very much seems like an afterthought on the bricks. I like the nose and the dash a lot more in the bricks, it just seems more truck-like to me. I even like the split windows in the supercabs.

I think the SD's look fine, particularly the early ones but they just kinda have a cheaper feel about them than older trucks. I could live with a 7.3l PSD SD if I couldn't find an OBS. It seems to me that the OBS PSDs are more expensive than the SD PSDs too.
