My early bronco is grounded and sitting in the corner facing the wall and my F2fitty is grinning from mirror to mirror because she's getting all the attention.
My four dent projects outback are planning a family intervention against me if I don't get busy on one of them soon, haha!
Getting the trim off the bed may be easier, but getting it off the front clip looks like you'd be better off removing the fender to get at the inner nuts. PITA
This trim would be a painter's nitemare to R and R, unless he just taped it off and left it, which probably happens a lot.
Here's one of my dent projects I picked up recently. Needs an engine and trans and the shocks rebuilt, but a great foundation to start from for going fast in the desert.
Retubing a driveshaft is not a big deal. Shouldn't be any more than $100. Many muffler shops do driveshafts, so don't sweat it and the driveshafts are the last thing you do once the swap is done and you know the lengths you need.
All kinds of info about your project out there, but you have to...
Simple custom looking, yet factory dash is one from F600s of the same era. Many, if not all have tachs as well as all the other gauges and bolt right in. Sorry, no pics.
When you see how much a fuel cell is going to cost you, you will reread the post about dropping/cleaning your tank!!smiliegitrdone
Probably more work installing/plumbing a cell than cleaning your tank too.
Good luck
I have a 4x4 58, but not factory. Ford didn't start building 1/2 ton 4x4s until 1959, but didn't know that when I found mine and was thinking if this is the first Ford 4x4 year it would be valuable. No such luck, but still a great score. Sorry, no pics from work.:(
It's the 3/4 ton 4x4s that...
Thanks Wizard and others. Strapped the 150 home last night over ten miles of snow covered back roads to avoid CHP hassle (uphill both ways, like the old saying goes). Lucky we didn't get crossed up as my 97 PS diesel got a little squirrely in the snow towing it. Yahoo! I owe the wife big for...
Yep, coil and leaf mounts very different. Would 150 frame have holes for mounting the ton leaf suspension, if i wanted to swap the ton axles to the
1fitty? Have to check and make sure steering box mounts are the same.The 350 had a hard life as a plow truck in the Sierras (bed and cab are...
I have a 79 F350 4x4 with a trashed cab and bed, and know of a straight 79 F150 4x4 for sale.
Won't the frames be the same?
Since both have 351Ms the wiring should be identical too, right?
If I drop the F150 cab on the the 350 frame, would you just register the truck as a 150 using the 150...
Nice trucks boys, have a herd myself, even if all but a 97,7.3 and a 77 trail rig bronco are projects. 58 F100 4x4, 77 F250, 79 F100 old skool prerunner, and well used 79 F350 plow truck. The drivetrain from the 3fitty will be under a bronco or shortbed one day.This 78 F150 4x4 would give...
Might pick up a 78 F150 Ranger and the trim needs to go. Most of it is banged up pretty good and wondering how much of a hassle it is grinding off the mounting tabs? Or are they rivets that need to be drilled out and filled?No worries, any good trim will be saved and recycled.
Thanks,
