Well had a little free time to finish up the bed. Was alot of work with the wire wheel but turned out great. The herculiner layed down easily. Im happy with it for what it was.

 

Finally had some time away from work and got time to put the bed on. I still have to fix some wiring for the taillights and other little things. I should be able to do a little better at finding time to work on it as im buying a new house and will finally have a garage at my house

 

Love it! I hope to add an F250 4x4 to the collection someday...

 

i just finished building one for my 78 F250.

 

Ya thats about what im wanting to build, i just have to aquire a little more steel then I'll start that project. I dont think this project will ever end. I cant name one part of the truck i have plans to do something with.

 

Cool truck

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't all(ford, chevy, dodge) the manufacturers after the year 2000-ish change to metric spacing of wheel lugs? Your 4x4 will have a standard pattern, and your new borrowed wheels will be metric, which means the lugnuts will work themselves loose over time and chew out that nice shiny aluminium, basically wrecking the rims. . .

 

Yes you are correct with that, i just have them on there temporarily until i can get some 16.5s and military take offs. The truck wont see the highway for quite awhile until i finish the to do list. Good catch there i hope i didnt mislead anyone into thowing some on their daily driver.

 

You are fine running those wheels Ford Super Dutys 99+ have metric bolt pattern, Dodge and Chevy are still 8x6.5

 

Well its been awhile since Ive posted due to holidays and purchasing a house. The good news is i have a garage, so no more laying in the dirt. The bad news is if i lift my truck i cant fit it in the garage. Ive found some time to do some tinkering like rewiring the bird nest of wires through the truck. Ive got all my lights and signals working. Ive ripped out the old flag headliner and made my own of carpet.
Dropped the np205 and did new bearings and seals, now she is leak free. Replaced multiple ujoints, and fixed my exhaust hangers. Much more to come next is my ps conversion, ive read about everything i can find on them. Now i just have to decide what style box im going with. Suggestions welcome

 

 

Beautiful Truck, I love a 4x4 F-250

 

You know, when I first read that you made a carpet headliner I thought to myself Oh God no. Why would he do that? But after seeing the headliner. That looks right at home. Looks really good.

 

Thanks guys i dont think this project will ever end . The previous owner getto rigged a majority of the truck so my list has been endless. I wish i had a before picture of the headliner. It was a super glued rebel flag to the original headliner board. He also had speakers mounted under it that had fallen so were hitting you on top of the head. Im happy with how the carpet turned out. They had carpeted the dash pad and like everything else was pretty bad. Ive removed the carpet and vynal from the dashpad and redoing it with fiberglass using the original pad skeleton. Hope to have some pictures of the finished pad this weekend.

 

Just some more recent pictures with the leds all working properly. Finally getting it tagged and insured this week.

 

That looks really good man!!!
