My 73 Crew Cab

I stated a thread over in the main forum 73-79 about my new to me F350, but I figured I'd share it here too seeing how I'm in SO CAL.

Nice find pappa. Those are cool trucks. Is it 4WD? Can't quite tell from the pics. Add some more pics if the mood strikes you. We all like pics.

Great thanks........Now I'll never be able to NOT see a Uhaul truck when I look at it lol

The red has definitely faded to more of a burnt orange.

In the first pic, I see you’re hauling another dent side? 4x4?

Reminds me of my trailer.

wpnaes....... It's a 1991 dodge 2500 rolling chassis with a cummins. That's an extra ford bed that came with the truck. I strapped it to the frame to get it home. The plan is to use the front of the dodge for a 4x4 swap and turn it into a fummins.

OK time for an update.

So I finally got all of my other projects done, at least the ones that kept getting in the way of the truck. I was able to squeeze it into the garage with only a few inches to spare, and that was with the bumpers off.


I've been working on it for about a month now and I feel like I've made good progress.


So the next step is to get my 12V back from the mechanic, he's going over it for me and making sure its a good base to start with. Also all the rust needs to get fixed, and there's a lot of it.
