This is the truck that i bought for 1,000$, it is a 1998 ford f150 lariat, it also has the 5.4l engine, the truck was cheap and its the first one i have ever had with zero payment, it is in pretty ruff shape but hear are the things that i have done to it


had to switch out the 17 inchers it did have with some left over 16 inchers, the 17's where spray painted silver








what the interior looked like in the beggining


expedition console i got for it

 

seats out



seats and console in



painted black





all finished with the swap and paint, used the radio i got out of the donor expedition also, also used the installed the 6 disc changer and got it to work also, what remains is getting the driver seat to work and also getting my manual t-case lever installed, after that it will be all done in the inside

 

after the inside is done the next step of the project will be working on the exhaust, and the box, all cross members on the box are rotted out so currently thinking about getting a different box or fixing the one i got.

 

So with that console I guess you're shopping for some seats. Probably some nice leather buckets I don't suppose you're anywhere close to me in the middle of Saskatchewan, Canada? I wouldn't mind doing a deal on that split bench (looks grey, or is it tan?)... but you're probably south of the border or way down east. I wonder what freight would cost?

EDIT: heh, you work fast While I'm posting you've pulled the seats and put in the leather buckets, and console, and a bunch more

I'm a bit curious about the bed, is that a camera angle deal, or is it a bit wracked? Looks like it twists up on the passenger rear. Hope there's no frame issues for you to deal with. Looks like a nice project truck for the price otherwise though.

 

The interior looks very nice! The black painted trim bits set it off.

 

nope no frame issues, just the box rails rotted out on that side

 

Ahh, I'd missed that previous post about the box while posting my replies.

 

That trim painted black looks really good! Got the whole interior looking good, props for getting it all together. Good luck with the rest of the repairs!

 

Id take that for a thousand bucks any day.

 

so has anyone tried an expedition console with the floor 4x4 shifter? does it miss it or did you guys have to set up a block of metal to offset it a bit

 

nice project....

 

Looks in great shape to me and a steal for a g note

 

No brainer for a 1k with no frame/serious rust issues. Keep us updated.

 

mocked up rear expedition buckets and removed the box this weekend

 

It looks like a stock F150 interior at a glance, which is good! Making it all fit together and flow nicely
