nice work, i have 1 question. you said you are doing a body and susp lift, but only going for 33" tires. did you mean body or susp or what? or a level and a body lift.

JIMC93

Thats a fabulous question, one that im sure will change,,,,

well it already has a lift in the rear. Honestly i think it will sit real nice with simply adding F250 front springs (aka level) and maybe just a 2 or 3 inch body lift. I looked through a million and one pics and i find just a simple level kit and a body lift gives it a clean stance. im always open to suggestions and experience lessons.

if its just your daily driver then a BL will be perfect for you. if i lift my 150 that's what i am going to do, a level and 3" BL. just to get the stance i like.

motor is done, time to move on to the interior, YIPEE!!

GUTTED!! MAN O MAN THAT CARPET WAS GROSSSS!!!

Discovered it has a replacement door.

Well no point in doing anything else to interior until the Body work is done, Seat is going to Upholstery shop for Black Leather. I'd love a leather wrap steering wheel from a F150 Lightning

Let the sanding begin!!!!!

I wish I had the time/money/knowledge to do a full restore on a rig like this... only difference is i would want an ext cab. its on my to-do list in life. My only problem is I would probably end up getting a shop to do 75% of the work... and draining my wallet... and losing all of the experience

Please keep up with the updates. I love seeing projects like this.
