During the process preceeding our home purchase, I sold a lot of things. One of which was my only running and driving 4x4 truck. I had planned to get the 72 to drive until the winter. I don't want to drive it in the winter unless I absolutely had to. My plan was to use half the money from the sale of the ford to pay bills, and the other half to buy parts for this truck. I actually used the money and purchased a 64 Corvette roadster. Then upon searching for parts for the vette, sold it back to the previous owner of the guy I had baught it from. Then paid more bills than what money I had from the sale of the ford, and purchased as money parts as I could with the remainder.

Ok, a little run down on the truck. My Dad purchased the truck when I was 16. It started out as a 2wd 1 ton dually. We repaired and replaced the bottom half of the cab. Lower b-pillars, inner and outer cab corners, inner and outer rockers, front half of the floor, and all the doors. Replaced the front clip, bed, my Dad tracked down a lower fiberglass spoiler for it and Lund razor back. My old boss's shop painted the cab forward. My dad rebuilt a 396 TH400 for it and the truck was 80% done. One day we decided to put a 7.3 IDI in it and I purchased the 396. A month later I found Dad a 91 F350 crew cab diesel, and I baught this truck from him. I then converted the truck to 4x4 and it has had several different engines in it, and different stances etc. It has been driven few times since I've had it. It's just been an extra truck/project. Here are some pics over the years.
