well some of you have seen, in the marketplace I am parting out my red 94 to an extent. I am keeping a lot of parts to transfer over to my newest purchase.
rust just got the red one to much. always wanted a bullnose CCLB and luckily found one semi local to me.

truck is a 1985 f350 CCLB dually conversion with 460 and 4 speed. for now. ;)

plans are....
install sterling rear from my 94 to replace the dana 70 with dually adapters -DONE
convert to 4X4
install zf5 and tcase behind the 460 for now
next spring/summer sometime my 7.3 from the 94 will be installed into it
dumping flatbed
all black interior with my black leather seats I have
repaint body black


started on it today with the rear swap. got the sterling hung under it, tomorrow I will finish hooking it up and toss the D70 under the red one so it will still be mobile.

Nice truck. Any plans to get some power out of the 460?

460 will remain stock except for a carb swap from the edelbog that's on it to my holley. then once it is removed to have the diesel installed, the 460 will get cleaned up, cam swap and installed into my f100....

Too bad the '94 rotted out so badly, although I can sympathize...even East Coast guys are surprised at how rusted-out my truck is nowadays :cry:

Sounds like you'll have an awesome rig when you're done ;Sweet

sterling rear is in, everything hooked up except the rubber brake line. gotta get a 4x4 line from the parts store. figured might as well install that now since it wont be 2wd for long. for now bolted on the tires and rims from my 94 since they still got decent tread on them. will clean up the weld racing wheels that came on it and hold onto them for when it come time to buy tires for the 4x4

Good start! I have to admit...I think it would be terribly hard to scavenge parts off a truck I put so much work in, but all things come to an end. Keep the pictures coming!

Nice slant nose.

I remember when you bought that 94. It was a really nice looking truck.

finally sitting back on all 6. swapped all the tires over from my red one since they still got decent tread. still hate these rims.
also swapped out the edelbrock carb for my 650 holley. miss and stumble is gone. runs good now. now time to start straighting some little things out before the 4x4 swap can start
