That parts truck looks better then 90% of the trucks I've ever owned!

Your truck is a beast! It's looking good. It has come a long ways since you got it. I love the 80-86 front end conversion on the 87-91 trucks. Besides a coat of paint, the only thing that I see, it needs is a big beefy front bumper and the front dually hubs & wheels.

 

 

Cool! Looks like you've got the wheels/tires covered. Sounds like you also got them for a great deal too! I had to buy a pair of wheels for my 91 F-Super Duty ( aka F450 ) . And I think I paid either $75.00 or $100 for each wheel with no tires. But they are a pretty heavy 10 lug steel wheel.

Too bad you don't have a nice king pin D60 solid front axle tucked away in there too!

 

 

If you want to pull the bed by yourself in one piece. Use a saw hose method. Use some kind of crossbars that you can slide in under the bed on top of the truck frame. They have to be long enough to stick out each side of the bed enough to support them and still be able to roll the truck out from under them. They can be steel tube or lumber as long as it's strong enough to handle the load. Then unbolt the bed and use some kind jack. It could be some kind of hi-lift style bumper jack or a floor jack with some kind of post on the pad. Jack up the end of each crossbar. When you get it high enough to clear the truck chassis place a A-frame in under it. Then go to the other side of the same cross bar and repeat. When you get the A-frame under each side you basically end up with a huge sawhorse. You will need one towards the front of the bed and one towards the rear. Once the bed is raised and supported you can roll the truck out from under it. I've used this method to remove truck boxes and Bronco body tubs. If you think ahead and make the crossbars long enough you can make it so you can back a trailer right in under it once the truck is out. Then do the reverse order of things to lower it onto the trailer.

But if the plan is to just get rid of the bed then cutting it up from the start will make it more manageable. But the above method can be quicker. I've done it both ways.

 

 

 

I simply like the look of the F350 style of wheels. I certainly don't need them but they always catch my eye whenever I see a truck with that style of wheel. I dunno, maybe I'm a bit weird I guess. :-)

 

 

I live in Grand Forks, British Columbia Canada just North of the US/BC border. Are you in Canada or the US?

 

 

Ah, so not close enough to go for coffee! LOL
