Project "ugly stepchild".......

[towcat]

Picked up a couple of boonie trucks. One was actually non-op'd. It's a big deal in kali since registration fee penalties are ungodly. Going to pull apart the F350 and build the F250 with the parts.
Truck #1 is a 1988 F250 SC with a waterlogged 7.3 and a ZF5.

Truck #2 is a 1987 F350 4x4 with a 7.3, a C6 and ATS 088 turbo.
The rebuilt truck will have the 7.3, ATS088, ZF5 and D60 front. It will also wear the nose clip from truck #2 as well as the bed.
stay tuned.

Newer trucks up here have more rust than the trucks sitting for 10 years in a field these guys drag out, lol.

they rather patch and keep patching their rusted out panels before throwing down real money on ****** panels.

Just so they can rust out again in 5 years, lol. Salt is tough to deal with.

I think you'll have a good truck when you're done.

Calvin has offered up plenty of whole trucks for the group. Few step up.

I have a hard time spending money on GOOD stuff that lasts 6-7 years when I can spend less and get 5-6 years lol! I almost feel guilty about "wasting" good OE steel in this NY weather...

Yes he has, I'd love to take him up on it but the term "insufficient funds" keeps getting tossed around

Just keep building up the available pool of solid drivers...

We don't do "barn finds" our "out back" stuff is just fine
