    97 F250 Diesel Prerunner

    So I picked this up last week from a kid in San Diego, it was beyond thrashed. It has taken me close to a week to get it cleaned up this much. Anyways, its a 97 F250 with a 7.3L diesel; its beamed up front 5.5 wider, 1" kingpins, 14" dual rate Sway-a-ways, 35's, glass, etc, etc. Its a starting point, just trying to get everything in working order before I go any further in the build. Let me know what you think?

    I love the older body style when people build them. I give it a thumbs up.

    I might be building a centurion (rare 4 door bronco) too, so I'll keep up with your thread.

    Any plans on racing? It'd be sick to win in 1450 with a diesel. I bet ford would give you one heck of a payoff

    I saw that one in the classifieds and thought it'd be awesome to build up. Nice choice any plans to link it?

    I need to fix all of the problems first, the truck was not maintained at all. It is definitely a work in progress

    You should have seen the dirt that came out of the steam clean canister when I did the carpets.
