Earlier this year I got a steal of a truck.......1979 F250 4X4!

Well I did a little to it and here are a few before and after shots the front was on the air hoist and under construction but is all done now!!

I swapped out the 79 front for a 77 front grille and lifted it I have a 1971 Linclon 460 for it at the machine shop getting rebuilt thats the next project installing that!!!
Tires are am M88 humvee tire 36X12.50X16.5 on white wagon wheels

This thing looks beastly!!

Trucks sure did look their prime back in the late '70's!

What engine is in there now? Let me know how easily that 460 goes in. I have one in a 73 Lincoln that might need to go in my truck

NICE! definitely like the new (err, old) grille.... I'm glad that you pulled the letters off the hood... but needs paint or something, too distracting...

Sweet ride.

I was gonna ask if HMMWV tires until I re-read... nice.

Unless you plan on sleeping in it... I say it goes...
just my $.02
