Default My new project truck. 89 F-150 4x4

Got sick of my quad breaking on me, and decided I'd like to enjoy going in the woods, but staying warm and stuff at the same time.
So I got offered a trade for a pretty decent 89 F-150.
It needs a clutch, but it's not horribly beat.
theres a few bad dents in the box, none of the wheels match, and there is some rust, but the motor runs great, and 4x4 works too.

I have a few plans for it, but nothing spectacular.
I work at a junkyard in the NEPA area, and I get free parts, so this truck will see many upgrades for nothing or very cheap.
I'm planning on adding either a bull bar, or a brushguard, a new set of 15" Wheels from my friends old Flareside, adding some items to the interior, and possibly putting on a new box, as I Desperately need one.

heres the pics.












Let me know what you guys think.

That's it for the clutch except for the pilot bushing/bearing. It should be included with the clutch kit.

Well, I'm now on the search for a set of decent stock wheels, as my construction teacher here at my Career Center, has a lifted CJ7 and has nice 33's on it, and he wants smaller tires, so he offered to trade me straight up for some nice stockers.

hopefully I get em, cause they would look great on my truck.

secretly ordering the clutch kit on friday, and hopefully I'll have it running soon.

paintjob is in the works.
