I know that this is a really old thread. But I am saving my truck from the Vultures
of the salvage yards and the crushers that come in later.


If the OP is stil reading this and could make some comments about things the
first photos seem to have gone away.

Did you do the frame work or farm it out?

Thanks

P.S. Your right about finding these trucks in yards.
You just don't find them.

 

I did the frame work myself, but in the future I would have a good frame shop that works with heavy frames perform that work.

Sold the truck almost 4 years ago. Work and life has lead to less time for such projects, and also I didn't need a full size diesel any more (never did really, but it was fun!), driving an EcoBoost F150 now.

 

I really appreciate the update and the info.
I am at the point where I am just starting on this road.
How did the value on your truck? Also was it a salvage title or not?

 

It was salvage title. When I sold it to a private buyer it went for between trade-in value and Fair condition private party value, and it qualified as Good condition.

 

Good to know.
Thanks
