So.. Figured that I'd update y'all a little on the progress I've made over the past few days. I've been off for a few days, so I spent every minute that I could working on stripping stuff down and doing a damage analysis.As of now I know it needs: Floor pans Roof skin Bed floor Dash and dash...

Time spent on this truck is never lost time to me. The only lost time was the 20 years that this thing spent sitting untouched.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

It's definitely a project. I've started pricing everything out, and to bring it back to how I want, it's going to cost somewhere around 15-20k. The money isn't an issue. It will all happen in time. Cab is just about gutting completely minus some chunks of dash pad. I'll make another post with...

For sure.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I would say I'd just lift the radiator cap and drive another truck under it, but someone stole the radiator while it was abandoned. LolSent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

For sure. It's not anything that can't be fixed though. Can't expect a whole lot from a truck that has sat abandoned for 20 years in southeast Texas. Haha.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Got the truck home yesterday afternoon. Here's some pics I took before the weather got too bad. I'll update more later on today if the weather stays decent.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

If only I could have it do it on command and release on command. Then it would be nice. Now it's just a pita. HahaSent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I'm gonna need all the luck I can. First order of business is a brake job. All 4 corners are locked up.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Oh yeah. It'll be in it's forever home early next week when I have time off to haul it out. Gonna be lots of pictures posted as soon as it's home.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I'm beyond excited about this. For several years I thought it had gotten crushed. I never thought I would see it again, let alone own it.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Thanks. I should be grabbing some more pics on Sunday.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I haven't posted on this site in quite some time. Sold the 89 f250 I had a couple years back and been out of a Ford since sadly. Until today.. Before I post the picture of the truck, here's some back story.Back in early 1966, my great grandfather (moms grandfather) bought a brand new 1966...

If someone gets the tires, I can pitch in for some free tire shine. Tires are too expensive. haha.

I like the sub box. What are the specs on it?Sent from my Galaxy Tab 3 using Forum Runner

I may post there every now and then, but this will be my main place again. I just can't stand it when people do that stuff. Especially on one post where all I did was ask for a few pictures. There might not be as much activity here, but it is a much nicer group of people here than over there. I...

About a month ago, I joined F*E because of all the activity and info they had there. I have made close to 150 posts in that time and gotten alot of info. Some good, some bad. But I am coming back here because of the complete $$$$$holes that they have over there. People always bashing each others...

The only difference is that the 80-86 have more squared off fender wells than the 87-91. Everything else is the same.

I understand that. Once I get it running, a rebuild will most likely happen if the truck doesn't end up just getting a crate motor.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3

I plan on doing most of that stuff anyways. I was just wondering if these had any weird issues after sitting. Thanks for the help though.

I have a 1989 F-250 with a 351w / c6 auto trans that hasn't been ran in about 4-5 years. It ran decent when it got parked, but got horrible gas mileage (4mpg on a good day.) and it has close to 400,000 miles on it.I know for sure that it needs a new battery and a new starter solenoid since...

Nice. Any plans for subs?Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3

Nice. I noticed in your last thread that you said something about a sound system. What's your setup?

Too much money involved in all that. Plus there isn't any places out here to use a pre runner for what it's made for out here.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3

So one day me and my buddy were told by his grampa to go to the store. We took his old 1984 F-150 with a 4.9 and 3 speed overdrive. On the way back, we decided to take it down a little dirt road that is good for sliding around on. The truck is a single cab short bed, so we thought it oughtta do...

Welcome. That is a nice looking truck.

I thought about that, then I realized that I want to be able to have some fun off-road. I'll probably end up buying another truck sometime to make into a dedicated pro-street truck, but for now, I want/need a truck that I can use more. A performance built truck wouldn't really be good for me at...

When funds/time allow, it will be getting 4wd and SAS. I just want to see what it will look like when done.

If somebody is willing, I would like them to do a Photoshop of my truck for me.I would like to see it with about a 6-9 inch lift, 35-37 inch tires, and rims don't really matter as long as they are reasonably sized and black.Here's the truck.
