probably much better.. I'm not a fan of green.. wish it was red and white or blue and white... could have been worse I guess..at least it's not yellow or brown..

 

hay ya this is my 1979 i ben workin on what you thank

 

that looks like a good start

 

That looks like a nice, solid truck! Is it 4x4 I guessing, i see it only has the 1/2 ton 5 lug axles! What year, motor, and other goodies does it have?

 

it is 4wd it was a 2 wd its is siten on a 1979 f150 ex cab fran so it has the same front sprang as a f250 i have a 1979 f 250 4x4 that is rusted out iam gon to swap the axels out and sprangs to oh its has no rust on or in it

 

I see, that looks like a very nice truck. Too bad they didn't make more 4x4's from the factory, that just gives us FORD nuts more time to enjoy wrenching on our projects tho! Keep us informed with an update of your progress!

 

ya i know you got to love thim lol iam waiting on a suney day that is above frezing

 

fordboy did you cut the 5 inches out of your frame to make it 150 inch wheel base?

 

yas i did the ex cab long bed is 155 and the cc shrot bed 150 i thout about living the gap to putt some stacks ther but diten and somthing eles the with of the fream is not the same so you have to do something about that a bout a truck for that bed on it now

 

email me at jst41858@aol.com. i know u have to cut the 5 inches out, and fab up some rear cab mounts. email me and let me know what all u did, thanks.

 

Awsome builds keep up the good work.

 

Thanks for the koodos. I have only done jeeps so this will be a new one for me. I guess ill learn as I go. Source Automotive has been a big help. I have a few guys that have done this sort of thing so ill be picking there brains. Any input will quite appreciated.

 

So far Im 7000$ into the project and I havn't even started. Just bought the crew for 3800.00 and the cummins donor truck for 3200. I shopped for a year before i found a Crew that wasn't all rusted out. Then I just found the cummins donor about 2 days ago. It has a new Auto tranny, and only 114000 miles. I just tore into the ford yesterday. I still need a dana 60 for the front end I think im going to try to put a powerstroke front end in it. Any Ideas what will fit. I just need the tubes I will have Central Four wheel drive put it all together after the powdercoating is done.

 

We've never had a CrewCab in the contest...(Hint, Hint)

 

You will have to fill me in im a little lost with whats going on. Im new so that should explain it.
