67 Ford 250 project

[streetwhore67]

And so it begins......
I got the front end torn off and sent to the balster. Got both filler neck holes welded in, also the hole in the bed from the rear filler, and most of all the littles holes in the bed from all the different things that have been mounted on there in the last 43 years...
once i get all the crap cleared out of my garage and set up shop again, i'll pull the engine and trans and blast all the rust off the lower part of the cab and start patching.

thats whats so great about these trucks, there's such a wide spectrum of things they can be, like in that pic either a hot rod gasser or a slammed show rig, or of course everything else from high school street rod, grandpa's lumber hauler, rock crawler, the list goes on there's something for everyone

[streetwhore67]

No problem... but I totally agree anyway.

Got some more broken down this weekend.



Found some cerious CANCER.

Picked up a 9" from a 66 T-bird.

And refurbished the grille. Took some aircraft stripper to it, blasted the lamp buckets and painted, got some new bulb bucket hardware from Mac's
whitch i was surprised to find, and new lens gaskets from LMC.


And some suspension parts came in. Some 4 link brackets and bushings, some air valves and gauge, and some switches :]

Moving right along. Looks like you have a good plan going.

Mine is rusted out pretty much like yours, so hopefully you'll get yours done first and posted up so I'll have a heads up of what to/not to do!!

I gotta re-do a floorboard I F'd up, then sills and firewall areas.

My doors and cab are coming off hopefully sunday, then I can get to it.

Keep the pics coming, please!!

looking good! mine is in about the same spot right now only i'm on the other end, frame has been sandblasted and painted, now just waiting on my intake manifold to come in so i can top off the motor and drop it in! gotta say, i'm jealous of those Mickey T's!

Wow, cheers to you for getting back on the project after what? 18 months? Good job, man, keep it moving forward!

That's a sh*t ton of rust on that cab, are you still planning on saving it??

[streetwhore67]

Oh Yeah.. Might not end up factory perfect but will be solid and cancer free!
