Thanks Guys! It is coming together slowly but shureley. I work on it whenever I have the time. It is a slow process but I want it done right.
Also it is hard to see but whole lower porton of the truck below the body line has stone guard sprayed on before painting. So it is textured. Turned out nice!
Thanks Ron, Bob did a great job on the truck, I am waiting for the first scratch,..... hasen't happened yet,...
It probablly wont see any salt and snow this year, I may wait till Spring to get it back on the road.
I agree, the King Ranch interor is awesome, unfortualtlly it wont be installed in my truck anytime soon. I wish I could afford it, but maybee someday,.
I have only seen them on one other truck on a pic at the other site. A member converted it to a dually, and they weren't quite wide enough so he added rubber flares.
They were made by Lund back in the late 80's. They are pretty rare. They were part of a conversion package that Ford offered. I have seen them on Rangers more often. Pretty shure you can't get them from Lund anymore. I bought a 87 F150 4x4 reg cab from the auction last year for 800.00. It had the front and rear flares on them. The truck was really pimped out
I removed the flares and sold the truck for like $1500.00 and put the flares in storage untill I was able to do the makeover. I have been hording parts for a few years for this project.
Here is a better pic of the hood scoop. The badge is the factry Turbo Diesel emblem that came off a 94. In fact I believe that is the turbo that Joe got, sorry the badges weren't included,..

Me too! You know how much Ford wants for them?
Then again, badges don't make it go faster!

When do we get pics of the whole truck? I like that scoop. Looks like it from a 69/70 mach1.

Thanks, Pics of the whole truck will happen when it is all done Probablly in the spring. You are correct, same scoop I have had it in my garage for about 10 years wondering what I am going to do with it.
Just a quick update,... I have been working on the truck during the holidays, kinda slacking off on the lot. Sort of my type of vacation. Anyway I got all 4 doors put back together so I can open and close them. Got the Visor ready to install. I have new lights, lenses, and gaskets coming for it tomorrow and hope to install it tomorrow or Saturday. All of the badges on, and one mirror. I got the new K40 CB antenna installed in the roof, Yes it was hard drilling a 1" hole in brand new paint,..ouch,... But it looks good! With the front end dissasemebled I painted everyhing, and will be installing new horns once I find them. I also had a couple of weak tranny lines that needed to be replaced going to the coolers.
I was also able to steel a couple of Chrome items off a coupe of trucks that I have aquired recently and will be installing those soon,...
The next thing that I will be working on is wiring. I started collecting parts for the following:
Headlight Mod
Running Light Mod
Cold Idle Advance Mod
130 Amp Alternator Install (I allready have the alt)
Aux Turn Signals to be revealed at a later date,..hee hee..
That is about it for now. Thanks for indulging me

Whats the king ranch interior, where do you get it from

It's the leather interior that comes in "King Ranch Edition" superduty's. Unless you can get one off of Ebay or somewhere like that, it would probably cost about as much as a whole decent IDI truck.

Smells like a rematch.......;p
Ok I'm taking orders. Pics to the highest bidders for those who can't wait.
Good to see ya got them doors back together... Man I was sweatin bullets waitin for that phone call.
Let me know if'n ya need help on the CIA mod. I got that'un down pat.
And you thought drilling a hole in the roof was bad. Try taking a 10# mallet to the firewall........ THAT hurt...... I feel yer pain on that one.

I drilled 9 more in the roof today,.
.....I got the Lund Moon Visor installed.. I got 4 of the 6 box tie downs installed also.Tom is exactly right, the King Ranch interior is very expensive if you can even find it. I would like to have it but I don't see it happening for some time. but you never know,..!
I am tinking the hood scoop should make up for it!,...

Yup you guessed it Rob.
I took a road trip up to GR yesterday to snag some more bling for Goldie.(Thanks Darrin
)All I can say is WOW Does Big Ed look sweet!
Tis prolly a good thing I forgot the camera cause I'd be posting pics but will leave that up to Darrin for the reveal when he gitsrdone.
Of course I had to leave him a little turned up D2 perfume yesterday to egg him on a bit.
I was really stoked when I put Goldie up next to the 450 Cabriolet bohemeth that he has on the lot. Yup made Goldie look small.
All in all was a good trip and a good time was had and most of important, I got to touch the truck and see it with my own 2 eyes.
Looking good Darrin!
