Austin's 1990 F-Superduty Build Thread

Austin · Nov 7, 2010

Okay, here's my new baby. Plans include new paint, exhaust work, and a few interior touches.

Specs:

1990 F-Superduty (450) Custom

-7.3 n/a
-5spd
-130k DOCUMENTED miles! (Just broke in)

The body is almost prepped for paint. All of the dents have been popped or filled. (Very few on the truck) First owner had a flat bed on it, but the second owner put the brown bed on it. Paint is going on about 4 weeks or so from now.

Thanks. I'm thinking of keeping it white, as I'd have to paint the interior if I changed the color.

Looks like a cool project.

Austin · Nov 7, 2010

White and chrome. Always works!

DNFXDLI · Nov 7, 2010

White would look good on that, our 2 work trucks were white.

I say as long as it stays clean, I'm good to go. I will have to play with the exhaust location, though. Suit = no good on white.

stacks are an option.. dont know if i would go with them in your app.. to me just a good stock looking exhaust should be ok.. you wont roll alot of smoke unless ya pump up the motor a bit.

Not too sure of my options. I could always throw a turbo on it and call it a day.
