New build

**Cumminsturbo22** · 06-29-2009, 04:48 PM

well its been several weeks of boredom driving the jeep around. So today (later this evening) i will be picking up a 86 Ford F150 4x4. with the 351 (which will be taken out shortly) I plan on sticking a 12v in it. after minor body work and ect. i think i wanna go with the lifted look again. something about the old body styles look good lifted.

Now this is where Waynes World comes in...

Wayne, could you get me the number for the upholstery shop you used on your truck in blue island? and you have to think of another name now for the truck

Corey,
Do you have any good 12v blocks lying around from your build? or maybe a complete motor? does anybody?
You can also keep the stock injector tips of mine i had there. my gift to you..

Thanks guys and keep posted for pictures from this build

I knew it wouldn't be long

will the 1/2 ton frame and driveline hold the 12valves weight and torque or are ya goni to gut it and slap a heavier drivetrain under it?

Cummins6speed · 06-29-2009, 07:11 PM

The frame should be fine, but the drivetrain might need to be upgraded

well i walked away from that deal, after a week of waiting to see it, i offered him only 500 bucks, it needs lots of work. brake booster, carb rebuild, bondo! lol i was inpressed on the motor tho.l it did wanna get up and go. but i rather see smoke coming out of the side of the bed. Also, when i convert it, i have to register the truck that its a diesel right? so i dont get emmisions crap in the mail?
just some thoughts...

Ok well i scarped that truck. lol
I bought a 1966 Ford F-100. it was in pretty good shape for the 1000 bucks i paid for.
Its 3 on the tree with a 352 engine.
Still looking for a block....

Nick,

It sounds like a search is in order.

Then you can see where you are going.

Keep us informed. Let me know if you need an exhaust. I have up in the attic for a stock 4" SS with down pipe.

We can go from there-------

I love the old truck.

***WAYNES WORLD*** · 07-04-2009, 08:23 PM

Andy,

The idea is to make this truck into a fire breathing diesel truck with the help of a few friends.

Nick,
If you were not so far away I would love to come help you out, but I am all the way down by saint louis. If I ever get up that way with time to spare I will get in touch with you. I have made three trips to chicago in the last 5 weeks, but they were all turn and burn trips. Anyway truck looks cool and good luck.
