Newest project
I just got back from Oklahoma. Flew down and drove back a
97 SCSB F250 7.3 5 speed 4wd 170k White w/ Blue interior.
It is Very clean, And that is why I went south for it.
Found out it was originally sold new in Idaho and stayed there for 2 years
Then went to Montana for 6 years,
then Missouri for 4 years,
Then Arkansas for the last 5
It has a set of stacks I need to remove, along with a pair of fog lights.
Then I have to figure out how to remove the spray on bed liner off the lower portion of the truck:doh::doh:
A Dana 60 was already added by one of the previous owners. It looks like they did everything right EXCEPT use F350 springs(reused F250s and add an add-a-leaf), can you say Kidney belt!!! They also did not use a F350 pitman arm. Has a terrible turning radius. And F350 badges
I think It is going to say parked for the remainder of the winter. i don't know how much prescription I will have time for this summer with other projects, so it will prob stay parked next winter too.
Enough of the babbling, I know everyone wants to see it...

Looks like a truck that has some potential. I agree on ditching those stacks and the rhino liner. The fog lights I could deal with but I still think they should go.
Knowing your work I know it will turn out great.
Good thing it doesn't have red interior. LOL

Good looking truck! I agree ditch the stacks! What are your plans for it?? After your last F250 build that is amazing! I can't wait to see what you do with this one!

Truck is nice, stacks are hideous!
If you can't remove them right aways, can you at least photoshop them out?
