Nice job on the truck. I have always liked that body style plus the 7.3 is a work horse.

So. Much. Want.

After looking through this thread for the second time, I have started looking for a clean four door.. Damn it!

Such a beautiful truck. What I would give to own that.

Reminds me of my old f250 that was stolen

Sure is! It's not the fastest diesel, but that leaves something for me to build on.

Thanks man... sorry to hear about that.

Nah, just told that bitch to play dead.

Looking good, Cam! I will say the truck looks great in pics, but seeing it in person last week it looks even better when you see first hand the attention to detail that you've put into it.

 

[GallopingFord]

Thanks Scott! She's not perfect, but definitely a work in progress. I can't wait to get the body repaired, swap in power locks, windows, mirrors and then chip it.

If he did I think it would be a (much) flatter piece of fur ..... #justsayin'

Put it to use yesterday. Finally got off my ass and installed two rock beds behind my house. Very glad I just went with 35's as 37's would have made using the bed an absolute PITA.

Small update.

I've been driving the Bullitt daily since Friday and my brother has been driving the truck since he is still in the process of fixing his Jeep. Yesterday we had a rendezvous at my parents place and I noticed that the front drive-shaft seal on the rear axle is leaking.

So now the record is 2 weeks without issue so I think we are making progress. Lol

 

[GallopingFord]

Finally got around to repairing the rear pinion seal. Got the truck home and started gutting the interior.

Had to take a break since the screws are stripped on the transfer case glove and I need them out to be able to fully pull the vinyl floor up

 

[GallopingFord]

Ended up drilling the screw with my dremel and got it out. Found so much crud and dirt under the covering... The previous owners did not go easy on this thing.

Unfortunately the driver side rust is much worse than I thought. The pinch weld under the weather stripping is completely destroyed and the floor next to the emergency brake is rusted badly. This is all caused by excessive mud and dirt build up.

Cleaned up as best as I could.

Just caught up. Cool truck. Hope the rot issues are easily resolved.

 

[GallopingFord]

Thanks. I'm trying to see if anyone sells that section of the flooring. Luckily the floor is still pretty hard so if anything I can grind it down and spray rust reformer on it and go back to fixing it. The most troublesome thing is that the pinch weld is almost non existent in one part of the floor.

It will all depend on what it costs, the biggest thing I wanted to take care of is installing a new cab corner.
