Little extra time on my hands tonight, been browsing the forums. Figured i'd post my truck and its progress

Started out a 1999 f350, long wheel base, automatic, utility bed.


Motor developed horrible blow by. I could of put a motor in the truck but then i'd still have a long wheel base (personally I really like swb. Turns better, looks better IMO) and an automatic which would probably go out at any time...

Luckily my dad had a 2000 model that he'd had for sometime. Short wheel base, 6 speed, 280k miles (original injectors!!) and still going strong. Only downside was the cab was beat up and rusted out.

So I started the cab swap...



And now this is my truck. Found out finding a short wheel base bed thats in good shape for less than 2 grand is harder than what would might imagine. Still trying to figure out what to do there... Could make a flat bed? or just bite the bullet and save for a good pickup bed.

 

Good job there Steven!

A flat bed wouldn't be bad. Aluminum would be great, but probably pricy.

 

Try finding patch panels. Pm me on facebook for details.

 

Thought about making an alum bed but, the extra weight of steal would be nice and I dont have anything to weld alum.

 

ill message u about the side panels. If I could get them decently cheap it wouldnt be a bad idea

 

TIG welding, or get some aluminum MIG wire...
