I Got It!!!!!
THE SEARCH IS OVER!
Got bored of waiting for someone to contact me with a parts truck. so i took what i had saved up ($500) and went to EVERY junk yard i could find close me me (about 6 different ones). and of corse at the Very last one i found my parts truck!
1990 Ford F150 XLT 4x4, 4spd, 6cyl engine. Runs Beautiful (has to be the smoothest 6cyl i'v ever hurd. and shifts great.
Now Now before you go looking at the pics and say "Geez why doesnt he use the other one for parts and put that one on the road!
IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER then it really is.
-3 out of 4 rear spring shackles are COMPLETELY rusted OFF.
-Rear drums are bent up from being moved around with no wheels
-Bed it so badly rusted on the bottem ( holes covered with duct tape?!?!?)
-Bed in rough shape
-Flinstone Floor Boards.
-clutch is a bit...well lets say its not perfect
-missing goose neck for top radiator hose.
-Yes those are MY wheels under it (only way i could move/play with it)
THE GOOD!
-Has EVERY part i NEED
-it runs
-4x4 works mint
So yeah i guess you may be able to tell i'm a little excited about a parts truck!

To be honest. Haven't swap't much over. been so busy striping the Parts toy. as you can see the engine is out, tranny is free floating, all access. in the engine bay are out, fenders/hood/support. the inside of the cab is EMPTY! as in bar stock metal!!! Drive Shafts dropped. i tried to take out the windshield...well i broke it lol. Back window is out. Doors. well you get the point lol. 2maro is finishing the Tranny/transfer, Axles, Gas tanks, Remaining Lights and Wiring, Front and Rear Bumper. then the rest will be cut up for scrap! Good Fun Good Fun!
