1973 F250 Prerunner Project

[2012SVTSC]

Hey!
I am starting another project, I know, I've been struggling to work on my other project but hey here I am!

Anyway this time I have help from my friend, who is an excellent fabricator and our goal is to build a non-competive race legal class 8 truck that doubles as a fun prerunner and street legal in CA.

Well anyway this is day one.
We got hooked up with a truck that once had a camper on it but got stolen by some tweekers some time around 2000 or something. Anyway it was recovered but the camper was trashed so it was removed.

Apparently they stole the mirrors, radio and sunvisors.

Afterwards the owner parked it in the garage and it has been sitting for about 20 years... until today when we pulled it out and brought it to lake E to get beamed, linked and caged!

So I'll be posting update here to my favorite fourm!

Here are the pictures, wish us luck :

Haha well I got the truck from an awesome old lady and her late husband had about 6 tires and wheels that I took to get rid of for her that one included plus the old bed frames that where keeping the truck from floating away. Basically filled the bed of the diesel with a dump run.

Today, We tired to get the cab and parts of the frame scanned for the cage build but my laptop ran out of ram and failed us partway into it. We are going to try a different computer but may abort the scan and fit the tubes the old way. Pictures for fun:

Small progress bits,

Tested out the wheels, going with some stylish beadgrips from method. Guess we won't be cool. Oh well.

Removed the beams, My Friend preped the radius arms mounts and tacked them for now. He said he may make an account here.




This is just a picture of all the diy front beam plates.



And of course some fun AI renders
