4X4X4 roof console and dakota digital dash

[rattlecan]

Here I go. there is no turning back now. This is going to be a 1967-70 F-250 4x4 highboy 4door long bed. the truck ford should have made. The Frame is a 76 highboy that has been extended 33 1/2 inches. The crew cab is flawless and is a 67. the motor will be a 557 big block with a paxton supercharger. I have most of the pieces to put it together. I will keep this updated as I go.

DA-GUM! That's gunna be my DREAM TRUCK!!!!

Is that zakt's old truck cab?

[rattlecan]

Yea that is Zakt's old cab. I'll tell ya the money caught fire leaving my hands it is so nice! He had some really nice sheet metal from his truck project, I got lucky with this find. He is a great guy!
The frame is almost 24 feet long! I am gonna need to hire one of those guys with the flash light from the airport to park this thing!
I am currently working on the late model power steering set up, notching the front cross member and boxing the front frame. The truck will be built up from all the parts I have collected for darn near no $ from numerous years (67-72). I hope to have no more than 7k in the whole truck, but we know how projects can go.....
The truck will have a 6" lift, still want to keep it manageable on the street. I just helped a friend install a 557 in his 71 cougar. That thing has more torque than he can handle, easily spins the skins in all 4 gears. That is why I chose this engine combo. I will post a bunch more pics and keep this thing going to the end! check this video out. GET SOME!!

Nice project. The frame work looks great. Did you Z cut it ?

[SebringSixSpeed]

Now this ought to be interesting. Ambitious to say the least. Keep the pics coming.

[rattlecan]

Projects are like crack cocaine, I just can't say no!
I am currently helping my friend with his 71 429 SCJ Cougar and I am working on my 70 mach1, all at the same time. my stuff takes money to get it to the next step but my 4x4x4 project isn't costing me near as much so it is easier.
I cut the frame in a Z pattern and added the extra plating to the inside. made a few holes from the frame to the plate and filled them with weld. very strong. Will keep y'all updated!

Man that thing is gonna be a monster. I cant wait to see it all together in one piece.

[rattlecan]

here are some pics of the modified frame work to adapt 77 style power steering. had to take some of the cross member out to make room for the power steering gear box. The frame was boxed and spacers were put in between the plate and the frame for strength.
