Well...time to resurrect this thread again....
I have been daily driving it off and on since November. I changed jobs where im at home more and my commute is very close to home...
I had a few things to fix in the back end and have been putting them off. well...now that the weather is good time to start.
Here is how it sat up until a week ago...

then i replaced both fuel tank sending units for new ones so my fuel gauges actually work again...took a pressure washer to the back end to clean it... and thats where im at. i want to remove the gooseneck plate and some other brackets that were welded to the frame then i need to start to plan out a few things.
I want to run some heavy duty electric lines to the rear for a winch power port, repair my tail light wiring, fix my cobbled together exhaust, and try to make an air compressor and a PTO co-exist with my 4" exhaust under the truck.
I decided i am going to ditch the bed and go with a steel frame/wood deck flat bed. still working on the design for that... got my paint colors picked out...its going to be 2012 F250 Golden Bronze Metallic and Pale Adobe Metallic in the original 2 tone pattern. gunna get the 86 nose ... lots of work ahead. i want it painted and back on the road before winter.
