I have a 1969 Ford F250 Crew Cab that I bought in 2017. The previous owner said it was a utility vehicle for the railroad in AZ. It came with a SBF 302 and a 4 speed manual transmission. The original plan was for a modern upgrades and keep as a daily driver. That plan morphed into a full custom build. It now sits on a new bagged/body drop chassis from Acme Chassis Factory of Houston, TX. It has a 2019 Gen 3 Coyote with a 10R80 transmission. The brakes have been upgraded to Wilwood 6 piston disc brakes. It uses Accuair Endo CVT with E-Level and secondary 5 gallon tank for air management. The wheels are Hot Rod by Boyds Chinook, 24x9 and 24x15. It has complete stainless steel hardlines for the brakes, fuel, and air suspension. It also has Ultimate Headers and a custom 3" stainless steel exhaust with FlowMaster mufflers.

The frame was built by from Acme Chassis Factory. It was their first Ford Crew Cab frame.
oh so just a little pocket change then... Looks great so far, should be amazing when done. The tailgate in the rendering looks like my other custom tailgate I still need to finish.
Not exactly but very similar. Good luck with the project, ton of work but worth it in the end.
Current status. First time with the front end on since the truck was taken apart. Waiting on hood hinges to check clearance for the intake manifold. The hood will need some work to clear the manifold.
Firewall is being finished up. Placed a Kugel Komponents remote master cylinder behind the dash bc there wasn't enough space due to the engine sitting higher. We'll also use Wilwood remote brake fluid reservoir. Waiting on the Restomodair Haymaker to determine fitment behind the dash.
Lots of sheet metal work left to do.
Very cool. Build cost are surely a out of range of my pocketbook but I applaud the drive to do what you like. Keep up the work.

It wasn't originally planned to be a full custom, but it went that way when I bought the frame. It's been 2 years since we started the project. It's a lot of saving and then mass purchasing of parts.
