0-60....eventually
Alright, this will be my official restoration thread of the 1990 F250, where I will update with info and pictures along the way of progress. Spring has sprung
Heres the run down for now. Truck was retired April 24th 2010 do to rust. Still mechanically running great, all original 568k km (377k miles).
This is it's last day on the road, I drove out here just to take pictures, as I wanna use these for my album once it's gonna be done, to use as a "before" pic.
Currently looking like this
This is the trucks original color, pic was taken in the late 90's. It will basiclly look like this all finished. It will be restored to all original specs, right down to the tire size and dog dish hubcaps
The blue box you see sitting on it is my rust free northern box for it, and I have a florida cab for it. I am still missing a couple odd parts, but those will come along later on. Those are the dog dish hubcaps, tall/narrow non A/C rad support, and Radiator, and gray color keyed vinyl flooring.
Heres the cab, it's a 1991 F150 XLT cab, witch will be turned into a super basic Custom cab.
-----------------------
Last weekend (April 21st-22nd) we restored our trailer we bought in Florida to bring the cab up here, we will need this trailer to transport the body parts to paint shop, and to get Line-Xed underneath and frame to get sand blasted and also Line Xed.
Heres a quick shot of that. Fresh blue rust paint, all new lights and a clean wiring job, wood and bearings!
I will have a update this weekend, I am currently making a home made hoist to lift the cab up, to back the trailer up under it, and drop it on it. I also had some big steel plates bend perfectly to fit around the roof where the door closes to lift the cab up without damaging or denting anything.
