My Grandpa has had lots of Dents and a few bumps here and there. This is where I got my liking to Ford trucks. This is Not my truck, it is my Uncle's truck build. My Uncle got this particular truck when my Grandpa passed away. This was a F150 4x4 Custom. At one point it was a forestry truck.

Now my Uncle is a highboy fan, and had acquired a 75 F250 4x4 highboy, that had some serious cancer. Having Grandpa's f150 decent body was his answer. Not that I agree with it, but it is not my truck. I think the end result will be a very nice truck.

Note... I don't know all the specifics of the restoration as it is a slow process for my Uncle. But I hope to get more pics as his restoration occurs. Ill try to get all the information in here. Heck, Im hoping I might own this truck one day.

Looks like he has it on the run already!

 

Grandpa and Grandma getting ready to get in his bump. My Uncle thought it was a 71? That was my Uncles Bump in the back ground. That truck is the one in the movie Winter's Bone.

 

Another pic of the back end. Everyone was getting in to go down to the creek.

 

Here is a pic of his Explorer in the back ground.

 

 

I'm going to find some more pics from family.

 

Update, ready for paint.

 

It should be nice when he's done.

 

Ah the fun of projects with family history...

 

Pretty dang cool!
