I'm Awesome
So I am starting a thread for the building of my truck. I've owned this truck for a long time, now at 200K miles I am going to give the truck what it deserves. The truck is in overall great shape considering the milage and that I live in the north east where most of these trucks rot away. Door bottoms are rusted, rear bumper.
Love this sticker
Since owning the truck, other than basic maintanance which gets done religiously, I've added three gauge pod with tranny temp, cylinder head temp and a A/F gauge, will be replaced with boost eventually.
I bought the cap couple years back off craigslist for $100, for that price, screw painting it. Another friend gave me the roof racks in trade for some shocks I didn't need.
So to the build, stage one is gonna be SAS with 78-79 F250 axles, D44 and D60. I am still keeping an eye out for a D60 front in my price range.. but no rush. The rear will be ORD shackle flip with 3/4 ton springs, front will be radius arms with trac bar using 6" Clayton ZJ springs. Most of the parts are at the shop, I snapped some picks of what I have now.
$200 for 5 chrome H2 rims
Bought a set of H2 BFG AT take offs, 2 tires are 70% 2 are about 40%, paid $150 locally. Once I get the swap done and see where it sits, I might run some 37 goodyear's H1 takeoffs from pirate on 16.5" turbine rims or just buy some 315-75r17 guard-dog retreads and keep the H2 rims.
Paid $150 for brand new remote res bilsteins from a friend
