Bought this thing for $250. Needed a radiator and some fresh gas, but was able to drive it home. 302/np435/single speed dana transfer case




Built a rear bumper for it shortly after that





Drove it like that for a while, then put 4.56 gears in it, a spool in the rear, and stuffed some 35's on it.







Got a different daily driver, and this truck went under the knife. 63" Chevy rear springs mounted under the frame, ho72 rear axle with 14 bolt internals. 42" tires

 

New running gear is a 460/NP435/203/205






Built a front bumper, there's a winch tucked in there, just need to order a fairlead and cut out the hole for the cable





Cut all this junk out to make room for the Dana 60 and 3-link





This is about how it sits today

 

i wish i could get trucks that nice around here that cheap. looks sweet though

 

Yeah, because you don't have enough Dave.

Looks awesome....almost makes me want a 4wd. almost.

 

Nice truck!

 

Nice build! Just don't understand the Chevy orange *smh*

 

define enough

 

Subscribed!!

 

Nice work man.... I like those bumpers! Keep it comin what else do you have planed for her??

 

Nice how your "beater" is a ton nicer than my daily driver!

 

Thanks for the replies guys


It was my bosses uncles truck. It had been sitting in his garage for a few years and he was moving so it had to go

Is it possible to ever have enough?


Chevy orange makes the Ford parts last longer. It's not actually Chevy orange, it's called blaze orange

Thanks. Coilovers in the front, a roll cage, and some better seats. Then the poor thing is going to be bounced off rocks and smashed between trees

 

Hey Lucky, I can come down and get that front axle from you! Also if you still want to get rid of that of that passenger mirror, I/'ll get that too. Currently I have full tome 4wd on my 75 F-100 and would like to switch it out.

I still miss the truggy. But this is a bad *** start. Good **** dude.

 

Right on that's what I like about these trucks is they are great for any thing. You can need up and drive them of a cliff over and over. Have a dependable daily driver. And, they look slick slick all painted up!!

 

We might be able to work a deal on the front, but the mirror isn't going anywhere



Me too, the new owner has been collecting some parts for it, but it's going to be Chevy powered now
