Fordmans 71 4wd woods truck

[fordman]

here are pics of my new 71 4wd. it needs a few things. but not a hugh load. i also am not going to be doing a total frame off on it either.
following is my list of things that need repaired on it.
cab mounts floors rocker corner curve bed seam resealed new door or a door repair in each of the outer two lower corners of the passenger door and a whole new front clip. as well as the enigne reinstalled.
since this truck isnt going to be a frame off and just a work truck. i'm not going to go hog wild on it. and repair everything with new parts. i will do my best though to be very professional about everything i do to this truck.

the first thing i have done is to take it to the car wash and steam clean off most of the dirt and grease. i still need to go back and finish the wash job. i ran out of quarters on that day. i also took an inventory of what body parts i could reuse from the front clip and reduced the pile of body parts to a more easliy haulable load for the scrap yard. i also have picked up a front clip from the junkyard that need some work to it. this truck also has bedliner material all over the whole body. the truck was orginally red. i am unsure if i am going to remove all of the bedliner material off of the body or not right now. these pics are before i done anything to the truck.

Looks like a solid truck.

Ooooh a new project

[Joshpow]

Tough looking project. You could always retain its rough -n- tough theme by keeping the bedliner!

looks familiar. . i found the bolts i was looking for.

here are some pics i took yesterday of last weeks final work on this thing. i had a thought today about filling those holes with some jb weld. i doubt i will do that. i may end up just putting some paintable silicone in there and painting over it.

I still have 95% of the stuff buddy gave me with the crewcab.

i am lacking cab mounts and floors for this truck. a better cab would be easier though. i have descent inner fenders and front clip.

I have that green one sitting, i was gonna build a truck out of it, it needs the front mounts and minor patches to the rocker pannels. the top of both doors need a little fixing. I just don't think i can afford to do what i was planning.

[fordman]

i am going to get some flat metal of some sort and try and build my own cab mounts. i could cut up the hood skin for that metal i need. excellent. now thats something to save me some money.

todays update i borrowed a power washer and washed most of the rest of the grease and caked on dirt off of the frame transmission and transfer case. i really needed a hotwater source to get all the grease off. but is good enough for now. next update in about a week i think.

If you get fed up with messing with it let me know and I'll come pick that truck up in a heart beat

its an F100 it has coil springs under the front. the F250 has leaf springs under them.

i finally got my bellhousing that i have been needing for it. it took me long enough. junkyard stripping to get a bellhousing isn't easy.
