Build Update

I haven't posted any pics of my truck for awhile and figure I would. Many have seen multiple pics of my build since the start. I'm posting the most recent pics I have. Older ones can be viewed in my gallery. For those who haven't seen it, it's a 77 F250 4x4 rebuilt from ground up. I have a few things I need to do yet and fix some bugs that have come out, but nothing serious anyway for now.














This is a little modification my brother and I did with the bed. We cut out the inner fender and created another bracket to sturdy the bed. Now I can wash that out and nothing gets stuck up there. I also had the entire underneath rhinolined. Hopefully I can prevent any rust for a long time.

personally, i would see about making some sort of removeable plastic shield for up in the bed sode for easy access to clean and prevent alot of stuff from getting up in there. other than that, beautiful truck. and i really like the wheels, i have the same style on my truck.

Awesome truck! I can tell you have taken your time and put endless
hours into it. Do you have any interior pictures? I noticed that it looks
like you have a split seat?

Yes 77 is supposed to have the amber lenses. The clear ones I have are ones that I had lying around and I just used them. I will eventually probably get amber though. I will run 2.5 inch duals. Not sure of the muffler yet though. I'm lining the exhaust work up pretty soon.

The wheels are Eagle alloy 16x10s. The tires are 35 x 12.50 16 Nitto Terra Grapplers A/T.

I am going to put the lower racetrack chrome on. I have the pieces. They are used and not perfect. I still need to drill some holes in the doors and front fenders for it. I will install the chrome I have and still look for really nice chrome or just start buying new piece by piece.

Thanks for the compliments.
