A few more pics of my truck lots to do still mabey someday it will be done

 

Good job that rig looks awesome

 

Wow that looks awesome, can't believe these trucks were built from 1961 up to 1990.


did the PDI on one of the last C8000s made , back in my early days as a truck mechanic. Erinwood Ford in Missisauga , within earshot of the Oakville Ontario Ford Assembly plant. used to race new trucks up and down the QEW on their PDIs .


never saw a nice 2tone paint combo on one like this.


Excellent job!

 

Cornwelltoolman, nice truck! Looks like that V10 is a good swap. It fits better than the 6bt we were talking about before. I am still plugging along with my cummins swap, not making progress like you are though. Nice job!

 

What did you do with the Detroit you pulled out? I have one in an 80's Ford delivery truck. It runs good but I'm not sure what its worth. I realize they are not a popular engine, are they worth anything more than scrap price?

 

Thanks the v10 fit like it was meant to be there

 

I sold it they are not worth much I think 200 is all I got

 

That looks fantastic! Great job!

 

Here she is all finished I have been running it every day for almost a year now

 

good to see a follow-up post. i was just thinking of this truck/thread the other day and was wondering how you made out.

 

Love your truck. I am in the process of building a ramp truck out of mine. Curious what size tires and wheels you used on yours? Did you convert the front hubs from stud to hub pilot?

 

Very nice build! I have a F700 that I plan on doing something similar soon.
