Austin's 1990 F-Superduty Build Thread

[73F100Shortbed]

But a nice car and small utility trailer could work out just fine and probably cheaper.

Yeah except before the dually he wanted a Bronco and something else lol. I swear him and Chris flip their decisions more than a stack of pancakes at IHOP.

It's true... But as long as I have a I'm good to go!

It seems that I have the wrong bed on the truck; it's from the 80-86's.

When you get ready for a turbo, take a Hard look at http://walkingjdesigns.myshopify.com/products/6-5l-diesel-turbo-charger-a-team

It does a good job of waking up a 6.5, so it should make a 7.3 scream...

She's a beauty man definately gunna turn out nice.Keep us updated

That's something to think on.

But as of now, my only worry is getting it painted. I'm going to start prepping soon. There are a few spots on the bed that are getting some surface rust on them. Nothing a sander and primer can't fix!

Thanks! It will probably be a slow build, but I sure will keep updates! This weekend is going to bring a good cleaning and a photo shoot so everybody can see what's up with this sucker.

Looks good. Even if it is the wrong bed who cares. I didn't even notice. Still looks good. Not like when people put those beds on a dentside.

Welp, I took her to school today. The 5 speed is growing on me; just gotta get used to the clutch grabbing. Got me a new parking spot, too.

Another pic from the side. Note that the rear axle doesn't sit centered in the wheel well. - That's because I shouldn't have a pickup bed on it.

What axle is in the back of it? I've always wanted to get one and convert it to a SRW 4x4.
