Due to my age and other factors, I've realized that I have too many boat and vehicle projects and can never finish them all. Some have to go..this has been chosen as one of those. Clean title.
What’s Done
Rolling Chassis build is completely finished
- Professionally rebuilt 1989 Mustang 5.0 HO (MAF EFI) with RJM engine harness and dual alternators (was going to use one for onboard welder setup
- Centerforce Dual-Friction clutch on new flywheel
- NP-435 with Gear Banger Shifter
- D-20 t-case with Wild Horses HD output shaft upgrade and twin sticks
- New Tom Woods driveshaft (rear) and rebuilt front driveshaft
- New brakes and brake hardware w/ stainless brake lines
- Wild Horses Wrap Trap
- Wild Horses SS shorty headers through pair of stainless pipes in to stainless Magnaflow muffler and single 2.5” tailpipe.
- Custom 22 gallon aluminum tank with Walbro in-tank fuel pump
- 4.10 9” with TrueTrac LS dif and Superior axles
- 4.10 D44 with ARB and Superior axles
- WH 3.5” suspension with Bilstein shocks
- 1-ton TRE front steering tie rod and drag links
- WTO rebuilt PS box
- Dick Cepek LT315/75R16 (35”) tires on Mickey Thompson Classic rims (except for the spare tire..that’s a 35” Dunlop on a 15” American Racing wheel)
- Pre-runner front and rear bumpers with Warn 9500I winch on front
- All body mount locations on the frame have had the “repair washers” welded in place.
The Rest of It
The body is in pieces (see pic). I bought most of the metal to repair it; most of what needs repairing is actually a “re-do” of crappy metal work done by PO. However, I’d recently decided that if I was going to complete this project, it would be with a Bronco Design fiberglass body.
Have doors, complete dash and original harness (in decent shape actually), pedal assembly, steering column, heater assy, etc. etc.. What I do NOT have for it yet are seats, and I do not have a top for it anymore...tree fell on it where I had it stored. ;-( Windshield is broken too…I’ve had those made locally for $150 though.
I have a hydroboost unit (astro van) with the AN hose adapter fittings that goes with it but I have not bought a mount for it yet. Actually..I always fab my own when the time comes.
Some may remember this truck from about 7 years ago when we had it at one of the Roundup events. It was a half cab then, with tired old stock 302 and 3-speed…but she acquitted herself well.
I should note that the frame was painted with Por 15 and it has faded considerably since the pics were taken. As Por 15 always does. A new coat of gloss black chassis paint would put the gloss back.
