this is my kids truck.
currently on deployment on the USS Eisenhower(CVN-69)
he came home on leave for christmas and we took his highschool truck he built, slapped it on a 86 F250 frame thats been SD axle swapped.
7.3 IDI and a ZF5.
rebuilt pump, injectors, and factory turbo.
hope to have it done, test driven and shipped to VA before he pulls into port.
atleast he's safe through todays B.S.

have this posted on a few different sites, but wanted to drop it here

 

Yeah Navy!!! I did that years ago, went aboard a WWII Destroyer, back in 63.
Served 3 years on her as a Radioman.
Spent time with the Kitty Hawk and Independence. All those ships are gone now.
We were part of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club.

I read your whole thread over on OB. Quite a project, and Grandpa made him
work for the truck too. You raised a good son.

OHHH YEAHHH! Definitely a cool truck.

My dad served on the U.S.S. Eisenhower during Desert Shield and I even got to spend a few days aboard her on a Tiger Cruise. Glad your kid is serving. I never even went to the Navy recruiter, I'm just a dirty Army leg.

 

That's a cool ride, right there. Dang, haven't seen your high end fab work in a while. Just amazed at that quality as I ever was.

 

whats up buddy! thanks!
little more progress lastnight. rear of the frame is ready for final fab!
