1972 f100/f250 custom sport.

[killakobra]

this is really a continuation of another members work. today i purchases a LWB frame, cab, and bed from beef 80 and plan to strip my stepside in order to complete it. i must commend tony for his hard work on the frame. it is beautiful. the cab is in good shape. no rear cab corner rust, front or back, other than a few spots of surface rust. the front cab mounts are even usable. it has stainless break lines, new shocks. PS box that I'm going to have to switch out. the reason it's a f100/f250 is that it is sitting on a 1970 250 frame with f100 drive train. enough of my ramblings, time for the pictures.



i will take the crome molding off but i will leave the sport custom chrome. btw are these rear reflectors stock?



our drive way is getting bumpy



when it was first parked. the cab is tilted forward because the cab mounts arn't on it.



here is a shot of the cab. look at how clean it is



once again tony did a great job with the frame. it's eastwoods ? rust encapsulator.
are the front cross members on a f250 smaller?



shows the cab mount holding the cab up. they are CLEAN



more of tony's work. you can see the stainless lines here



the badges i will be keeping



the seat it came with



not a dent in the room skin.



the bed was kind of half !@#$( painted but the base white held up good. the ridges are hardly dented.



firewall



this is all i feel like posting. i'm really tired from the trip. we left at one AM and got home around 4:30. i'd like to thank tony one last time for giving me a good deal. it will save me alot of time

Are you going to finish both trucks? or does this mea doom fr the Flairside?

[killakobra]

heck no. the flair side is going to be the radical truck now. i'm thinking convertable/roadster?

i've got both doors off of the '69 and have the driver's door bolted onto the 72'. how do you go about aligning them?

[fordman]

you line the door up with the bump on the back of the cab. it may take a few tries but it will work.

i've got it lined up but it doesn't close smoothly. the gap along the back isn't consistant and it pulls down when you close it.

btw are these rear reflectors stock?

Yes, those are the stock reflectors.

are the front cross members on a f250 smaller?

No, they are the same, but Ford changed the width of the cross member in 70 so the 70-72 are wider then the 67-69...

Looks like a good project.

didn't know they had rear reflectors. kinda neat. i'll have to get the measurements on the cross memeber. first time i saw it i

[killakobra]

got the measurements on the cross member. the one on the 70 frame is 9 1/2" and the one on my '69 is 12" .

dad found a truck box at the dump today that i may use on the truck. only thing wrong is the drivers side latch is bent. easy fix



i also put the wide rears on the LWB. i think they'll look nice once i get the sides de-kinked.



i will be welding in the floor pans sometime this week. i'll try to take pics.
