15 yr project almost complete

Started this in college of fall of 06 or spring of 07. Can’t remember. All she needs is a rear bumper and exhaust ran. Has been quite the journey. And new headlights. Did everything myself. There is a build thread on here

its a 76 f250. My dad ordered it brand new in 76. 4x4. Has 428 cobra jet with auto trans

changes I may make are going back to factory steel wheels and getting some skinny coker tires and changing the black cab lights back to orange. I love 1.5 mile off dirt road and she like to throw rocks

Man that thing's a peach! Liking your idea of going back to a stock wheel and tire, and the stock lights.... just completes the amazing originality of it. Pops gotta be proud man! And a 428? Pretty much completes the "ain't kiddin around" appeal.

Great looking truck! Those slot mags are super rad, but I can see the appeal in going back to stock

That truck is gorgeous. And with the spec's and legacy, it's quite the heirloom. You should trim up that mop head next time you pose with that gem.

I can't even spell "go fund me". But I can pack my clippers when I go turkey hunting in Elk and Cowley counties next couple of weeks.

well good I’m 2 hrs nw of there so don’t worry about bringing them clippers. There is a guy north of Winfield that deals in a lot of dent Ford stuff. He’s a good guy to know

good turkey hunting if you ever get up this way. I live on cow creek
