ok ill be starting on my project truck as soon as the rain lets up its a 1996 f150 xlt,4.9,5 speed,2wd
plans are
put new head gasket in
3in body lift
33in tires or whatever i can find on crags list cheapish lol
new radio
and body work ill post starting pics tomorrow it may be alittle slow on progress but ill get it done and before you ask why do so much work on a 2wd with a 6cy and i am because im bored and payed nothing for the truck

 

oh and how hard would it be to convert it to 4wd? would i just need to get a new trans and front end and tc??

 

Plus a 4wd front axle

 

thats what i meant but i was going to get the whole front end

 

My bad them yeah I think you got it covered most will say it's easier to sell this one and buy a 4wd truck but to each his own

 

i know that, i was just wondering.. i have a 4x4 so i dont really need this one.. this is mostly to wrench on little by litttle ill probably leave it 2wd

 

How many miles does she have?

 

210k but i feel bad letting her go because we have put WAY to many new parts to let it go and it still runs like new my uncle has a 94 thats rusted to hell but only has 75k on it from new im trying to get it cheap for parts and thats why i asked about the 4wd swap because his is a 4x4 but if not the 4.9 thats in it doesnt burn oil or anything so ill throw a head gasket in it if i have to.. its mostly hwy miles so i should be all good

 

I'm in.

 

Buy your uncles truck. Switch cabs. Leave the bed off. Jack it up. Fuel sell. Cut fenders. Put some 40's under it. Viola, mud truck.
