The Beast

I'm just starting a body rebuild of a 1987 ford f350 4 door long box 351 c6 2wd . its a old air force truck 85000 original miles on it. put a new engine in it 2 yrs ago headers and dual exhaust. its tow over 12000 pounds of scrap in one run
i dont see a way to add pics?
is it because im new to the site?

Where in the world did the driverside floor and rocker go

I don't think I have seen a truck of that vintage with low mileage(for the year) with that much rust damage to the cab unless it was used at a marina to slip boats.

Good luck with your project looks like a lot of work, get photos and post your progress.
