I needed a 4x4 truck for the winter while the ranger's under the knife so I started looking for a full size 80-96 Ford truck.
I ended up with an '89 F150. Drivetrain consists of a 5.0, 5 speed, and BW transfer case. I picked it up for $825 out the door. Plans are to fix the body up, do a single stage paint job on it, level the front, Dana 44 TTB 8 lug outers with a Dana 50 4.10 chunk, Disc brake sterling rear, and beef up the rear suspension.
I'm posting here to show my progression throughout my "build".
The truck:
The floors (both sides were like this) :
New sheetmetal installed and sealed with fiberglass bondo:
Interior is in great shape:
So far, I've installed new rough country N2.0 shocks in the rear, fixed the rotted off EGR tube, installed flowmaster muffler and tail pipe, fixed vacuum lines in the engine bay, fixed floorboards, new speakers in the door, fixed radio, fixed speedometer and transfer case linkage, and ordered ball joints.
