My 1973/77/79 Ford F-250 4X4
|
Well, off I go again on another project. I picked up this former mud drag truck from a guy I work with in May of 2006 for $600. It was formerly a
hybrid Chevy/Ford powered by a small block 350 through a t-350 but I bought it sans engine and trans. The engine was a bit too costly to feed
for my tastes, so I switched it over to a small block Ford driveline.
As for the mixed years, it's a 73 chassis with a 79 body and doors off a 77 on it.
This thing turned into a serious money pit since it needed way more work than I had anticipated, but the body and interior were very nice so it
was worth it. It took over 2 years of work an nearly $3500, but in the end I'm pretty happy with the results. As it stands right now (Sept 2009) all I
have left to do is get some minor body work done and have it repainted, since it's started to peel a bit in the last year.
