I can't even remember everything I have changed.

Parts on that truck range from 86 to 94 and F250 to F450.

That red engine is not as shiny now, that was 4 years and 80K miles ago when I built it.

If I told everything, it would not be a secret would it?

 

Well I should take some pics of all the parts I have cleaned and painted,those are pretty!I just repaired the air cleaner top where it was rusted,got to paint that yet,,,if all goes according to plan {IF} The block should come out later this week!

 

I think mine spans from 1986 to 1997 including the mods in the transmission. But it would be a little bothersome for me to try and take photos of those.

 

Ok, so bodywork isn't really a "mod" but you gotta have a good base to start with for putting in any other mods.

So it's a Ford OEM turbo with a 3" down pipe. ARP head studs and upgraded to 7.3 rockers. I've got it set up to run 12-13psi of boost. I need to turn the fuel back a tiny bit as if I load it up pretty good and try to keep the speed up on the freeway I can get it to hit about 1250 so I have to keep an eye on the pyro yet. Inside I've added a glowshift boost/egt/trans temp gauge, and I've also added a water temp gauge (that broke within a week and I have to replace!) a voltage gauge and an oil pressure gauge. Tekonsha P3 proportional brake controller. Cobra 29 Classic LTD CB with a few of it's own mods and dual CB antennas. Back is a flatbed at the moment and will eventually be converted to a dumping flatbed which incorporates some super bright work lighting on top of the headache rack. I've also got a york compressor waiting to go in for on board air setup once I figure out where i can bolt it in. And I've got a Dana 60 front end that I'm putting together to bolt up front for 4wd. It's a range from the 70's through the 90's in parts. NP205 transfer case being the oldest sourced part.

I also have not finished my bodywork and am loving the heck out of driving it around looking like a complete hillbilly truck with the multi-color black/primer gray/silver/maroon/rust color scheme

 

I gotta get some pics but mine has a Hybrid 85 industrial 6.9 94 factory turbo 7.3 still have some 7.3 parts to put in if I ever get the time and money to stud it. auto meeter triple pod with boost pyro and trans temp. E4OD had a few mods to firm up shifts to prolong friction life unfortunatly at 232,000ish the steels sheered in the drum so now it has a ford reman with 3year 30,000 mile warranty. cb with external speaker and IH antena with the orange tip to replace the white frieght shaker antena I broke when my dirt bike came unstraped and fliped in the bed of my truck. LED mounted in the instrament cluster to monitor TCC funtion. Oil presure sender off an 80s gasser and modifyd cluster now it tells me how much presure instead of theres some. roll of duct tape on the trans tunnel that I had set there now used as a cup holder. Manual switch to lock TCC That I haven't used in years but man it makes a huge diffrence on the 4-3 downshift. 35" BFG allterains on 16" mickeys. slightly advanced timming tuned for eficent power black some from the start when you floor it turns to a grey haze quick and it scoots. straight piped. oversised trans cooler and inline magnetic filter. I'll put some picture up tomarow

 

New tires and removed the old running boards that were in bad shape, I plan on putting some hoops on. I still have a lot to do(including body work, lol) But I'm making progress, and having fun

.

 

Did a D60 swap and a 4 inch lift, 36 inch duratracks 3.5 inch exhaust and added a coolent filter. planning a turbo hopefully in the near future

 

Looks great country boy!

I will do a D60 swap as soon as i blow up my current axle :-) Also going to open up the exhaust.

 

lol id say do it now, i got 300 bucks outta my wore out ttb D 50. definatly do the exhaust, it'll help ya on both a few ponies and a little extra mpg's if you dont plan on turboing it real soon do the y pipe, or run true duals. that tiny y pipe is a lotta restriction

 

Well ummm, a show your mods thread....well this sucks

 

I got one, i call it the new body mod...

OLD badly rotted body.



NEW not rotted but beat up body.


It was more involved than a few body bolts thou, check out my build thread on oilburners. It's a step by step on how to polish even the crapiest turd into a shiny polished turd. How to polish a turd, for Dummies - Oilburners.net

 

Only mod I've done to the truck are the brass return caps. New brakes, front end overhaul, trans mount, exhaust and tires are all maintenance.
