Power Stroke bump

This came up in chat last night. I think it is pretty slick.

I wonder about it having a more modern dash..that if you could have a air bag then?

Good evening Tim!

That's definitely impressive; I wonder how nice the fine points of its implementation are!

Since that's so unusual I saved a copy of the ad. Y'all can click on this image to see the full-sized version:

dang that one must be a pullin sonofa. gotta be a 7.3 I got the same combo but in a 99 2wd they got the power since there is no front 4x4 axle to slow it down either but that is only a bump body on a truck frame the power to weight ratio must kick some a** thats if it gots a turbo or injector upgrades

I've been drooling over that truck for months, I hadn't seen it on CL in a while so i figured it sold.I called the guy on it a few months ago but no one returned my phone call.I would love for that thing to be sitting in my driveway!

Looks to be a real fine example of an awesome build.

oh my.....
that is one awesome bump
I wonder how hard it would be to convert it over to rhd

I would love to know how much work was involved in the dash conversion? Pretty darn impressive.

I wish it was a bit closer. It is about two hours away. No I can not afford it, but I want to take a bunch of pics of how things were done.

I suppose its possible to have an air bag in an older vehicle, but the work would be combersome to say the least. Afaik the mid 90's pickups didn't have airbags. I know my 97 F-250 didn't. Maybe the F-150s did but I am not very knowlegeable about them.

The price is impressive, if it was done with quality workmanship that price is a steal. I wouldn't prejudge it though. I suspect (mainly by the use of the 95 dash) that the truck may be a hack and the price tag reflects that. That dash doesn't fit our trucks. If it does it's either a hack or there was some serious skill combined with time and dedication that made it happen.

Regardless of it's quality the fact is it's a 450 chassis. That truck is not pickup, it has deep gears and will be screaming on the freeway. It will shake your kidneys out and those 94-97 PSD F-450's are notorious for having engine electrical and fuel issues directly related to the rough ride. One would be really lucky to get 15 MPG in that thing.
