69 F250 Highboy Project "Green Bean"
For the past 3yrs or so I've been working on my old 70 F100 I tore it down to the frame and did cab/bed/trans you name it I probably did it but I don't know why but I traded it yesterday for a 69 F250 Highboy. Its got a 300/NP435 Dana 24 T-case Dana hi-pinion front 44 and 60 rear. I've had it since last night and I've already been tearin in to it thanks to help from my friend Tyler its bascially became our old green bean crusin/off roadin rig.
The old 70 "Big Burtha" leaving on a trailer to be traded for the highboy. Thanks to Chainey and his powerjoke

Re: 69 F250 Highboy Project "Green Bean"
I ain't done a whole lot with the ol truck lately but I've put a new master cylinder on it and I'm gettin ready to go get some new gauges for it this weekend. But I did take it out for a little fun in the mud after school. Goin out again to hit a couple more holes.
Big bad 300
Did a little more work on the interior
Also put the 33/12.50x16.5's off of my camper special
Single stack
My fun btween classes at school.
By this weekend I should have some new gauges to install and maby a new stack.

Re: 69 F250 Highboy Project "Green Bean"
Yeah but the tire has a slash in it so I didn't bother to put it on. But I went back out for a few more runs in the mud and broke something . It sounded like a u-joint break but all the joints are intact so I don't know but at least it looks good sittin next to the housepapabug71 wrote:It looks alot better with the 33's.

Re: 69 F250 Highboy Project "Green Bean"
Still haven't messed with the u-joint snap noise or the camber but I bought some lights for the headache rack,windshield sticker and repainted the grille. Also after some tough negoiation with my mom I agreed to take some graduation pictures as long as I could have the greenbean in the background
New grille paint,windshield sticker,and lights
