Postby aussif350 on Thu May 17, 2012 3:06 am

hi guys, just wanted too show everyone how it all started with my f350. i bought it in 1990 as a long wheel base flat bed i then shortend it by 27inches and built
it as a tow truck { a wrecker truck} i run it as a tow truck for about 10 years or so then i got back into kustom painting. so i pulled it down sold the wrecker back
built it up as a well body in australia we never got them as a well body, so a made well body fenders out of fiberglass. that all went well as a shop truck for
8 years or so then it started with a engine rebuild and it got totaly stripped and four or so years later the end product well almost just going to ladder bar the
rear end some retrim the seat and its back to being my shop truck..

71 F-350 dually flatbed, "little 302" (as some folks here call them) .030 over V-8 with a "baby"C-6, B & M "ghetto" truckshifter, Dana70/4.11 ratio, intermittent wipers, tilt steering, full LED lighting on the flat bed, and no stereo yet (this way I can hear all the rattles to diagnose them)!
A lot of "oddball" Ford parts collected from working on them for 34 years now!
