87 Crew Cab w/ 6 doors

300

yeaaa buddy.
back on it again!
i will be going at this part throttle.
things in my mind.
RSK- homemade
emblems and body work
rear anti axle wrap device
the most awesome engine compartment ever
battery relocation
SD interior
paint frame
finish interior.
body work & paint.

well its not much, but here is a start.
i wanted to mock up the emblums before i took the front end off.

emblem looks ok, definately needs to be frenched in... looking for 11-13 fenders, i dont like the way these mount

One for each door!

how in the hell do I get so lucky??

put 2011 fenders into craigslist, and BAM

the first listing that pops up....
2 fenders, been in an accident. 25 bucks each...PERFECT!

So what are you going to do, cut out the emblem pockets and use that to french them into your fenders?

exactly

theres alot of gap at the top it seems. it dont look horrible, ill address it tomorrow if need be,
time to do the daddy thing, mama has to go out.

You could probably adjust that and even it out around just by tweaking the holes a little.

Cool!!

this morning was all about stripping the engine compartment.
after i got all of the sound deadening foam off, i found a nice rusty surprise.
which in turn made me pull the dash...
its ok tho i want to rewire the entire truck anyways.
i wanted to make way for new inner fenders, and to make the engine compartment look clean as can be.
plans are to delete the batteries.(install under the bed)
form up new inner fenders, line the inside of the fenders for a cleaner look,
relocate overflow and windsheild washer.
delete all of the BS i dont need. still have some wiring issues i need to solve in my head (will be posting a separate thread)
today i have to cut the floor out of the scrap truck for another member.
install the passenger side 2011 F350SD emblem and them steam clean the shat out of it.
gonna need to patch/reinforce the firewall also.
may even look at the firewall and see how feasible it would be to clearance for a 4" down pipe

time to watch the babys for an hour or so and then get back to work!

the other side is complete....

Tomorrow it's inner fenders.
Then a bumper, pull it all off and blast so I can finish weld

Looks good!

holy fricken hell,
THAT was alot of work....
"ahhh itll be easy!" i said...

NOPE...
6 hours and im still not done.
its sunday, and now time to relax...

and..
i ran out of wire. but it was a good place to stop.

not to shabby IMO, needs some patching because im not the best metal guy..
alot slicker than stock plastic inner fenders!


i used a old fender i had layin around for the pattern.


cheezie box(tubing)pan brake.

That's pretty cool. I like the idea.

Now would be a good time to install one of Freebird's firewall reinforcement plates.
