71 F100 lwb to swb and CV swap-update 10/30/11

Post by harrysnyder »

Well i'm editing this post because my original intentions of making this truck 4wd didn't work out. I just couldn't find a frame nearby and so I decided to go another route. I purchased a 67 cab and frame for $200.00, I bought a really really nice 6 foot bed for $150.00, and I have $500.00 in this truck. It's a 1971 with the factory 302/C4 combo. It sat for 10 years neglected before I bought it. I'm gonna follow this post with a new post with some pictures of the cab and frame I purchased, and hopefully before the weekend is out I'll have the frame seperated from the other junk and ready to wire brush. Anyone need any parts off the 67 let me know.

It looks like it was a witness to a massacre. :eek:
Or maybe that “bed full of body parts” that towtruckerfour has in his side yard. :shh:
