MadMaxetcs '67 Driver Project

[MadMaxetc]

Well I am still working on the title thing

But here are the pictures I promiced...

They are in <my album> on Slick60's.

I have a question about the VIN tag on the Door, Is it the right kind?? I know the info on it doesn't match the truck, but does the tag look right? It looks a little hoaky to me.

Lookls like somone swapped the door out and it didn't have a vin tag or they destroyed them both trying to remove them. And just had a new tag engraved for the ones title or it could realy be a stolen truck.

kinda like they copied a junkyard tag.

[MadMaxetc]

thats kind of what I thought.

Well lets hope this works out...

[MadMaxetc]

Well I traided the 351C and C4 I got with the truck for a good T-5 and SBF bell housing today.

Still working on the title, but I now have all the major components.

[MadMaxetc]

Well since I can't work on the truck yet (still no Title) I have been stockpileing parts.

I also updated my Website, check it out!

[Big D's 69]

Looks like a nice project. Good luck with it and keep us posted.

If the f250 frame comes back clean get a title for it. Some states if it hasn't been registered for so long. They sometimes can give you a title if you can show that you bought said truck(a bill of sale wich may or may not need to be noterized).

then once its yours i have some f250 hood emblems if yours say f100.

Maybe do a swap with you. Shiping for shipping.

Then if you take the vin from the frame and have ask ford at the customers ask ford website send you a build sheet. I think for 50-60 bucks a polace called marti auto will restamp you a new correct styled Vin tag. I think they even give you a good set of factory correct rivets.

I will remember that.

The emblems are 250s. I am thinking of shaving them...

wait...get the Title first...then dream and plan.

[MadMaxetc]

Well the trucks are not stollen and the officer is going to contact the title owner of the 250 vin.

He wants to get it inspected before I do any work to it, so I need to get it running some time so I can take it down there.

Looks like all will be well soon.

[MadMaxetc]

Well I got my electrolisis started on the suspention. I have the spindles in now. The backing plates and I-Beams are next.

Pictures soon...

[MadMaxetc]

Well I have been working on cleaning up the suspention parts for the front.

I set up a little electrolisys tub in the back yard and have done the spindles, I-beams, backing plates and some other small stuff. I have the radous arms in there now. They are the last big thing for a bit.

I am going to take the I-beams and spindles in to have the king pins done on monday. Then I can start to put it all together to get it ready to swap.

Still no word on the title problems. I am going to call the officer on Monday.

Oh...I also found out that I have to go to europe (can't say where) for 2 weeks...and I leave NEXT SATURDAY!!

more to come...

[ICEMAN6166]

Dan, glad to hear you are making progress.
hope you get the title thing cleared up
and be careful over there in Europe, wherever there is.

Well I had to go back a page to find this thread but here is an update...

I still do not have the title. But I an planning a campout in front of the guys house to try to get a hold of him.

So far I have been stockpiling parts. I also had the new bushings installed for the king pins. The parts where $80, but well worth it. The bearings and bushings are great quality and should last a long time. Only $25 in labor too! So $115 total, money well spent. I have also been cleaning and painting parts. Here are some pics.

I plan to get the I-Beams and Spuindles painted and assembled some time this week.

[ezernut9mm]

dan, i hope that the title comes through on this truck. looks like your really putting alot of effort into getting it back in shape.

[MadMaxetc]

Well if I had the title in hand I probably wouldn't have de-rusted and Painted all the parts, but I had to do something!
