Here's what 23 years of commercial work does to a cab

Getting the 94 F350 ready for another winter, and looks like this will be the last one before a total restoration is in order. As you can see, its rough. The driver side is the worst, with the seat belt mount just hanging on by a thread. Needless to say, I've started the search for another cab lol


Damn salt killed the poor thing

i am going to guess that the heater has a hard time keeping up with all that custom ventilation you have there.

that is in perfect condition compared to my 88.
my truck is missing the bottom 4 inches of the "A" pillar, the bottom 6 inches of the "B" pillar, the bottom 6 inches of the driver side cab corner, the driver side rocker panel, and just about 10 inches of the driver side floor pan in from the rocker panel. front cab mounts are missing, and the bed fell off three years ago.
i have a new cab in the garage waiting to go on it. and the new bed is sitting on the frame.

One thing this truck does have, is good heat! That said, my feet get cold in the winter, especially with the heater stuck on defrost lol.

I found a clean cab on CL tonight, so I'll probably pick that up. Surprisingly the bed on my truck is pretty solid, with the exception of the wheel arches.
