92 f350 build thread

[Nrliftedranger]

Well like alot of you i thought id start a build thread........

The truck started as an old Davey Tree truck that had lost all hope i initially thought that i would just clean it up maybe put a new cab on it and a conventional pickup bed well it has turned into more than that.....
check it out

heres what i started with
92 f350 4x4 5 spd cab and chassis 7.3 idi na

i stripped the frame down had it sandblasted painted it with some free cat primer and 3 coats of eurothane black, i started reasssembly with new springs all around, superduty springs in the front and all poly bushings

 

[Nrliftedranger]

i lucked out and bought a rust free cab and front clip from a guy in kentucky and found a really nice clean bed from a guy locally that bought a truck in florida brought it home to ohio and decided that he wanted a flat bed

Its coming along the final photo is how it looks now

Nice amount of work you have done on that project. Will the engine have any work done to it like a typ4 cam or a turbo or moose pump...

[Nrliftedranger]

[Nrliftedranger]

Wow what do I see in pic #1 but what looks like a Glen Pray second gen Cord in the background. Nice.. I have an original 1937 Cord Beverly Sedan in my garage. I bought my Dads partner out in 1975. Dad died 14 years ago leaving it to me. I also see in pic #2 a corvair tucked away too. My high school buddy had the 63 covair monza spider with the turbo. It was fun as hell in that car. Looks like your making plenty of head way on this. Keep the pics coming. We all enjoy them ya know..

 

[Nrliftedranger]

yes it is a cord replica sbf c4 complete and driveable talk about an uncomfortable car to drive though....yeah theres plenty of classics over there mostly mopar stuff 68 and 71 cuda ,a couple gtx s all in decent shape they are true barn finds theres a porsche 911 targa at there other place that was bought new in 75 drove for a summer totaling 4000 mi , the owner had a stroke in 76 needless to say the car is still on jackstands as its sits in the same place since 75


sorry about all of the non ford idi stuff

Its amazing what you can see in the background of photos posted here. I enjoy that as much as the content intended in most pics.

I like watching these build threads, keeps my hope alive, and like seeing the "potential" in a pickup.
Do have a general question about front springs.
I thought all F350s had 3 leaf springs???
