I’ve just started to restore my1965 F250 4x4 and will need help. Thanks for the invite.

 

 

An F250, nice!

Welcome aboard!

 

Gerbear,
Welcome to FTE!

This is an excellent site with good folks to help you with the upcoming challenges you'll soon be facing with your '65 F250 4X4.

When you have a chance, tell us more about:
-- the how and where you acquired your Slick;
-- what powertrain and options is it equipped with; and,
-- what your plans now are for it; such as; a daily driver/work truck, a weekend cruiser, or show truck.

Some info on my 250. I’ve owned the truck for about 42 years, I bought in the 70s, drove it
for 3 or 4 years and then parked it because it wasn’t practical to drive. It’s original except
for having a 2wd right front fender do to an accident by the original owner, a different seat, it’s black
and it has a 1971 tag on it. The last thing an engine swap by me when I was driving it. The engine
came out of a 65 galaxy, a 352 4v.
I picked up a cab and a few other body parts a few weeks ago so that started the restore.
I plan to drive it some when finished, hopefully in a year or two.
It’s all original except for the things I listed. I’ve taken pictures of the grease pencil marks on the firewall
and frame and plan to duplicate them.
I’ll post some pics soon

 

Wow sounds like a great project!

 

That would be GREAT, Gerbear!
I look forward to seeing your pics!

Being in MI, is it safe to say you likely had/have a snowplow mounted on it?

You would think so but it has never had a snow plow on it. I do remember looking for one but that didn’t work out at the time. I’ve learned to pay someone else to abuse their truck, it’s cheaper on the long run😀
