MY beaterbilt ford
ok i figured i would finally share my latest project... the reason behind the name is- first owner had a plow mount on it and used it for whatever, took the box off slapped a wooden flatbed on. It was then sold to the 2nd owner who used it as a farm truck and did heavy work with it, it slowly lived its life being abused and neglected until the brake lines quit so owner parked it. I then came along 7 years after it sat and bought it for scrap price. What the truck is- 79 ford f350 custom, 400ci, borg warner t18, dana 60 axles, np205. One thing for sure this truck needs ALOT of work both exterior and interior.

well at first i wanted to restore it but then decided against it so it will be becoming a hunting/mud truck.
drivers side floor board (now rusted out completely no support for feet)
pass floor
rebuilt the carb completely
i am currently working on finding a coolant leak i suspect the backing plate on water pump has a hole in it. the rear leaf springs along with hangers are shot and the drivers side front cab mount punched through. I did get the truck running but it has an idle issue and a clack from the valve train. Its winter around here right now so im waiting until it warms up to tackle the project some more
