Smile my project over 2 years. lots of pics!

Here's some pics of my truck and the work I've done to it over the last 2 years, all done on minimum wage but slowly one piece of the puzzle at a time! Enjoy!

the day i bought it, $500. it sat for 2 years and fired right up! and the a/c is still ice cold!!!

camper topper on


wheeling in colorado



back from colorado with body lift on and exhaust done...



next on the list is rebuilt 4x4 transmission, and 4x4 swap. then back to Colorado for me! dont tell me im wasting my time on the swap!(everyone says that) anything can be done. i make almost minimum wage, and buying a good condition 4x4 is out of the question, im doing everything one piece at a time.
thanks for you're time!~ A.Swaff

Nice job man!

That truck looks great and you obviously use the heck out of it. Keep up the good work.

I really like the pics from CO by the way. Very cool!

it's always nice to see a build that's done on a low budget, and your truck looks great

That's cool that you set out to breathe some new life into that truck that really didn't look that great to begin with. Now look at it, it's awesome!!!! Congrats on a job well done, keep up the good work

sweet project. i just bought me a wrecked 1990 351w supercab 4X4 long bed F150 with 67,000 original miles and absolutely no rust for $500. it came with the 92-96 core support and fenders, but no bed





had a truck that looked exactly like yours did that i took the rest of the parts i needed off of
