So I bought this thing in '06 I think, big plans you know how it goes
did a disc brake axle swap from a '78
Then drove it for 2 years
But the body is totally shot so we loaded up and drove to Cali and picked up a donor body from Doug Commer
made a stop or two
interesting view
then I stripped the donor down to nothing and had the doors media blasted and epoxy coated
The cab and box were suposed to follow right away, that was over a year ago....
The cab has been tarped up in the garage ever scince and I installed the yellow box last summer and tossed the white one
I had been focusing on racing more and promoting races but now the crew needs some lovin, I could have finnished the crew twice from what racing has cost
The plan was alway to go Diesel, I wanted a Cummins but I had a factory new 1990 7.3 given to me sooo
in it's going, pics from the fall
You can see the cab in the back of the "garage"
It will need a 2" body lift to clear te bell housing and I have an '86 F250 diesel donor that I'll be taking the rear axle, 4 speed and transfer case from
I'm also going to cut the engine cross member out and weld it into the '72 for a better fit and no fab hassels
Also putting in a power steering box from a '78 to get rid of the ram thats in it now
I'm finally loading up the cab/box to get them blasted and epoxy coated this weekend
I'll use the rad from the '86 and mod the '72 support to fit it aswell
so the goal this summer is to have the body mounted, engine and drivetrain done and steering dialed in, then paint and final assembly next year
