0-60....eventually
And so it begins....Restoration of the ol IDI, Parts truck Strip Down, Completed.
We've been getting really nice warm weather so we started striping down the parts truck. Were only keeping the cab off this one. All other rust free body parts are up for sell, along with many other parts of my previous parts truck (1990 short bed).
When we bought this truck, it came with an extra box, doors, fenders, hood and front bumper all of witch will be used to restore the F250.
My previous parts truck had all brand new body panels on it, but with power windows and all that garbage, I want nothing of that, so there also up for sale.
Heres what we got done so far. The cab should be off the frame within the weekend of by next weekend, we still need to find a place to store all the stuff I have in the box of this truck, some rare Ford van parts, a tranny and an engine witch I want to keep.
The cab does need some work on the back wall near the corners, and drivers side front rocker, other than that, it's perfect shape!
1 more problem with it, it's an XL cab, so it had all that useless plastic trim inside witch will NOT be used in the diesel, the Diesel is a Custom and will remain a Custom, nothing inside, no headliner, no carpet, no plastic anywhere inside the cab. So I have to spot weld all the screw holes.
We are keeping the original interior of the Diesel truck, and transferring everything in this cab once fixed up.
Heres the doner, 1988 F150 XL 5 speed (originally a 4 speed)
I'm keeping this nice shape Rad Support for my '89 F150 as it's rotted out at the buttom.
Todays interior work.
