Looks really nice Ryan, definatly a truck I am going to have to check out when it's done along with your other one.

[69NVF100]

Looks awsome if you get bored you can come to reno and do mine next

[bumpside]

WOW! nice looking work! I have to keep asking, where do you guys keep finding trucks that arn't rusted through? Every time I look at a part on my bump it's get rid of the rust , then do what I set out to do. Enough of my complaining , this is about your truck.

Excellent work .I can't wait to see more.

wow, i was looking through my bumpside folder, and stumbled across the pictures of when i got the truck same truck? wow, it looked so nice, why would i tear it apart
cant wait until its nicer

this picture was before i even wanted the truck. i took this pic when i spotted this bump at a welding shop... where i now work and now own the truck






seeing those pictures is really weird to me.
i cant wait until im driving it again!!! ive set a goal for the end of this summer it will be done. im trying

[427blackpearl]

all looks good ryan, that truck is going to be one cool ride for sure

[sport71]

Great work dude, great tips for all of us thanks soooo much. You will be so pleased when you look back when you are older and tell your kids look what i did when i was your age. Now a days kids don't do any thing accomplishable. You will be a person that will always be doing something and not one that waits for things to get done..

stripped/por-15'd underbed tank parts, rest of rearend, and whatever im forgetting.
installed underbed tank/skid plate



this thing wasnt fun to install




new bling bling yo


new shocks


cleaned old brake and fuel lines. one of the metal fuel lines didnt pass my inspection, its got a real thin spot on it so i need a new one of them badboys.


im going to order pads for between the leaves and bushing kits for the rear suspension so i can get wheels back there again. and i need to find a front disk brake setup so i can have a rolling chassis.

[MadMaxetc]

I have been a way a while...looking good!

[Fordnatic]

Lookin' good. You are doing a very thorough job. I do worry about the only rust you found, on the radiator support. That rust came from the inside. If you don't cut it out completely, it will continue to rust from the inside where you couldn't apply POR15. Might be worth the trouble to do it now, while you have easy access. I really wish I could be working on mine like that!

[Blue Blood]

great shot's of your progess. keep them coming.

[sideoilerfe]

Great job!That Por-15 stuff looks awesome. I have to install a under cab tank into my 68 . I robbed all the parts off my 72. I forgot to take pics so I hope I remember how they go back together. It looks to be a pain with the bed installed but I took the old one out with the bed on so it should work.

I have to ask though, why is the 1/2 ton the tow vehicle and the 3/4 ton the racer? I'd think it'd be the other way around.

[1971ford]

thanks.
yeah, its weird having the f100 the show truck and the f250 the racer. but i decided to build a race truck after i allready did tons of work to the 69 to make it pretty. the 69 isnt exactly the tow vehicle, my dads tahoe will most likely being doing that. but it will tow it sometimes.

[67mann]

About time ya got back to the 69--poor olde girl--waiting in the wings Maybe you should use the powerhouse racer to tow this to the shows when your done with it Lookin good Ryan
