Ok, so today I picked up my new project truck. Its a 1975 F-250 XLT Custom. It's the 4x4 Highboy with a 460 big block and a C6 auto.

NEEDS
-U-Joints on the front driveshaft and reinstalled
-new air filter and the lower pan or at least a filter
-not sure if fuel gauge works gotta figure that out
-tailgate or a net at least, lost my front shaft on the way home cause it rolled out hahaha
-the correct 75 grille because the surround on this one makes it a major PITA to open the hood, plus part of the insert is busted.
-pinion seal
-body work(why I bought it)
-FRIGGIN CUPHOLDERS AND A STEREO


WANTS
-tint on the windows
-cab lights
-toolbox
-new rear bumper
-bigger steering wheel
-saddle seat cover
-different back bumper
-new center caps for the wheels
-possibly replace the glass packs with mufflers and kick tips out the side.

A body style even chevy guys love! I cant wait to see what you do with it, got any engine mod ideas? Any idea what gears the truck has?

Thanks guys, mainly going to clean the motor up. Already has a decent Edelbrock carb and intake manifold, can't remember if she had headers or not. The 460 is not original, they never came with them, it was originally a 360 truck according to the VIN and it verifies that it IS a true Highboy.

It's good it's a true highboy and I'd rather have the 460 lol

BrowningSCrew

Uh yeah, flat kills the 360. She has some get up but being the last year with drum brakes all around it takes some planning to stop hahaha I feel sorry for the poor SOB who cuts me off in this thing lol

2000fordf1504x4

Ya lol so do I lol u might want to do a disc break swap eventually if its in the budget

BrowningSCrew

Yeah that's what dad said, or at least a decent brake job on these

2000fordf1504x4

I would do a disc conversion on at least the front

BrowningSCrew

When I do it I'll go all the way around
