the 7deuce build

my poor baby is sitting at the shop all alone but as days get warmer my brother in law and i are going to finally get around to converting her to 4x4..... the original body is great but the frame is weak and cracked in 5 spots due to lead-foot-itis and heavy work loads but we plan on using the frame down from an 86 f250 and do a 6 inch body lift here is a recent photo of her looking all lonely

I have a 1971 F100, 4x2, short bed parts truck that has a good frame if you are close to Arizona.

i live in kansas but thank you for the offer i have a couple extra 2 wheel drive frames myself but i am fully intent on using the 80's model 4x4 3/4 ton frame for all the nice features of disc brakes and independent front suspension and heavy duty running gears and the fact it already has a 4" suspension lift is another bonus
