Good Evening...
I'm new to the forum (3rd night). I'm redoing my high school truck that I re-did during high school. I'm class of 1993... Cheesehead, but now live in Minnesota.
It's a 1977 F150. 351M 4x4. I had a 4" superlift with 35" M/T. It got stolen from University of MN, Duluth my first week of college. 9 months later I got it back trashed. That was 1997. I started redoing it in May. I bought an AZ body (1979 ) from Marshfield Truck Parts. As of May 2008, I rebuilt a 460 Police Intercepter, from that 1979 2WD truck. +.030 bored, - .010 on crank, shaved heads, Extreme 4x4 Comp cam, aluminum intake and water pump. Old 600 cfm holley from 351, may be updated to 800. Added L and L headers and engine swap kit. Accel coil etc. I have a few things left on the engine.
Installed a 9" Skyjacker lift kit system from Top Gun Customz. 3" body lift will be installed. Mounted 15 x 42 x 15 TSL's on M/T 12" rims. Bought new everything from NPD and LMC. All rubber, lights, steering wheel, hoses, brake lines, mirrors, etc. I have bushwacker cut flares and a moon visor for it. Everything is getting water or sand blasted then painted. complete restoration. Then it will be my Tar Baby! I'll attach a few pictures. I have hundreds more...
I hope to finish it in later August. For anyone interested...
$3500 '79 Truck
$1800 to L and L
$1700 to Skyjacker
$600 for yellow and black paint, etch primer, epoxy primer (PPG - Napa)
$2700 to NPD
$400 LMC
$2100 to Summit Racing
$300 to Speedway Motors
$300 Napa
$150 to Fastenal - yellow zinc Grade 8 bolts, washers, and nuts.
--yeah, please remind me they sold for about $7,000 New...
But the good news is I have about everything.... but Paint (Ultra Blue Pearl Metallic as it was) and Seat... the mice made a mess of my interior. They thieves drove it out in a field and buried it with brush. I need 4.56 gears for the 9" and Dana 44 and longer drive shafts. Emergency brakes too. I'll fab a custom rear 24" drop bumper from diamond plate. Not sure about the front.
That's all for now.
