Well the truck is finally coming together! Got the lighting finished and the moulding all on plus mounted the bumper as well! I was touching up some bedliner under the wheel wells and noticed the axle pivot bushing on the driver side is completely gone....so waiting on parts to get here for that 
Bedliner on the inside is all done now I'll have to grab some more pictures of it later

Here was my problem. I am doing mine outside...... 1st week of October (about 3 weeks ago) the temp was 100 HOT degrees! Now, Oct 24...... lows in the 40's.
Talk about a CHANGE!
SO.... there you are.... if you don't like the weather in Mississippi, just stick around a few hours and it WILL CHANGE!!

50’ sprayer with 500gal ball tank
After the sprayer was removed and some love given to the old paint
In for paint!
New wires less headaches
Painted and floor coated
Bed underside coated and ready for body work
Interior done!
Here’s where she sits as of now. Wheels are just simulated images not sure where I’m going with those yet
Hey everybody, just thought I’d share some pictures and info on a truck I’ve been working on for a couple winters. New to this site but been following and getting advice for this old survivor along the way. It’s great to have a resource like FTE! Anyway to the part everyone wants to hear. It’s a 73 F250 with a 390 with a T18. It was converted to a sprayer rig for the farmer at the auction I bought it at. It was in remarkable condition for a 2WD sprayer truck in Indiana weather! I’ve replaced nearly all the interior and done a complete rewire with some modern upgrades. Basically a frame off restore which has turned out to be well worth it! Any questions or thoughts are appreciated! Enjoy the build 👍🏽

Well got the inner fender seals on finally and replaced the axle pivot bushing on the left side. Those can be quite the pain to get out...I think next step will be finding the toolbox I want to put in the back for looks and then possibly addressing some routine maintenance like plug wires and new plugs, getting and AFR gauge and getting it tuned in right things like that. The weather in Indiana is turning sour quick waking up to 16 degrees and snow so the driving days are limited 
but here's some pictures after all that was done and hopefully I get a few more times to drive it before winter really sets in!

I really like how that colour turned out. Your truck is beautiful.
Can I get that colour code off of you again? I remember it being more of a medium jade metallic rather than a dark jade metallic.
