[trapper]

Well since i have gotten a donor truck i have been working on my project.... i have so far broken the donor cab down to just a steering wheel....in my truck it has a new floor pan for the 5 speed, a brand new rubber floor mat instead of the crappy ol carpet...i built a good cluster out of 2.... getting ready to install the clutch peddle assembly and soon to put in the new recovered bench seat.... im fixin to go to the pick and pull to find me a hydo boost setup and tomorrow will install the master for the zf.....i hope to have this thing up and runnin soon and maybe i can come to the rally's with yall ..... will post pics tomorrow...

Dude, how much money do you have in this truck?

Probably could have bought one already running.


But then again I have no room to be talking, I bought my truck for $600 and spent $3,000 to get it running.

well with 2 running 6.9's and a donor truck for all the other parts to convert mine....minus what i payed for the F-150 in high school im in around 550 bucks lol

 

[mabc926]

That's awesome man, nothing better than a bad ass truck with the right price tag!

 

[trapper]

yea i know but the biggest cost to me will be a 4x4 ZF and a Turbo kit for the 6.9 .... studded of course lol

 

[trapper]

Welp i got the clutch assembly in the cab and took a whole 30 min( pics to come )

i noticed you said you had the vinyl floor mat in it. did you put that in or was it in there? the one i bought is junk! not a single "mold" in it at all. just curious

 

[trapper]

it was actually in the donor truck i bought its brand new and is molded for the floor in my truck all i gotta do is cut a hole where my floor 4x4 shifter goes

 

[alienturtle]

any posible way you can get a pic of it for me? who makes that one? mine is an ACC kit. I got it and i had a hell of a time installing it. Its bubbled everywhere and i cant get it to lay flat anywhere. I like the vinyl but im thinking about going back to carpet just because mine looks like crap. then again i dont know who makes a good carpet kit that will fit right

 

[Dsl_Dog_Treat]

Sweet! Gonna paint it blue?????

Gotta love a restoration to bring old iron back.

Done 2 for me and will do it again because it's still cheaper than a monthly payment.

 

[trapper]

i can get you a pic but i have no idea who it is made by so give me a few

 

[trapper]

i was thinking a high gloss black with a billet grill and a set of chrome aussie stacks and ranch hand all around

 

[alienturtle]

just got mine on i like it a lot...
