my truck

ive had my truck about 4 years now so i figured i would set up a time line so i could see the progress i have made, hope ya dont mind me sharing it with ya they are from when i got her to present



when i bought her



after a box a stacks an bumper


f350 frame i bought for her



after body swap new stacks and 3 inch body lift and 6 inch hummer tires and i rebuilt a 7.3 and swapped it in place of the 6.9 and added a hypermax turbo





i had a few oil leaks and the body was going to hell so i found a 95 f150 and swapped the body again ans picked up some aluminum rims and went to 35 inch tires now im getting ready to paint her again

hope ya enjoy

I rearranged the pictures a bit so it was not so wide.

Shoot, you ought to have enough left-over parts to build another truck now!
You have a lot of ambition thats for sure, no moss growing on you!

I'm suprised that I liked it best as the red and white '87-'91 body style as I usually like the newer style better.
Don't take that the wrong way it looks good NOW TOO. I just like the look in the picture, there's something about that red and white color, black wheels, Hummer tires and minimal lift.
Anyway, my opinon don't amount to a hill of beans...it's your truck and it looks good either way. Good job keepin' the old girl going. I hate watching trucks get "neglected-to-death", you brought one back to life!

Looks like you keep your house up really well too.

Don't worry your opinoin doesn't bother me a bit. I liked it white and red too but when the body starting going again i found the 1995 in such good shape i couldnt turn up the deal. and with my current set up it is alot more practical and rides and drives better. my goal was always to lift it a lil cause i like the stance, but keep the springs and everything stock so it is still usable.( i hauled in 7 tons af scrap ,in to trips, of left over parts and a used up demo car. o and the house looks so nice cause i still live with my mom sinse i got out of college, my parents recently divorced so i help her with bills and stuff so she can keep the place. thanks for the kind words they make the work worth while.

I'll bet your Mom appreciates having you around. All that feminist stuff doesn't hold water for most women, they want to have a man around and a Son is the next best thing to a Husband.
