So I was looking at a 1960 F250 quad cab on a 1990 diesel chassis... I got out bid and decided I had my limits, but this was the next one in my line up.
It's bone stock. Bench seats and crank windows. I'm thinking I'm gonna put some 255-85-16s on it on a set of steelies. I got the steel wheels with it. Not a spec of rust on it. Thinking of leaving the paint as is! It has fresh 360. So. Eventually cummins. But yeah. Just sweet the way it is. Wheels will be gray steels and some 33" or 35" mud terrain
As for needs, I think first I am going to get a tail gate, bed rug or mat, and tonneau. I'm gonna keep the 5th wheel tailgate cause I might buy a fifth wheel camper at some point (trying to sell my motorhome right now).
Possible future adds:
Tailgate
Bedrug or bed mat
tonneau
Hella back up bumper light w/ rocker switch for trailer hookup on
HID driving off road lights on my kickass brush guard (I might have those locked up)
255-85-16 MUD Terrain tires
Tunes upgrade, I think it still has the 8-track LOL
Paint my steel wheels and add some chrome center caps (need caps)
8 ball shifter knob (Why? I say WHY NOT!)
Undercoating...MI winters suck and I live on a dirt road! YIKES!
What did I miss... No fuzzy dice comments please
yes, long shot, but IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON MY LIST OR PARTS FOR 1970s-1993 DODGE Heavy Duty D250-D350, shoot me a note
Fun driving it. Has manual AC which reduces one more thing breaking.
This weekend I am gonna dive in: lube oil and filter, very detailed cleaning, new serpentine belt, replace hoses and coolant, rear diff fluid and clean and bed liner the surface spots in bed.
Remove all camo tape.
Also, I have a Dodge SB tonneau. I am gonna see if it will fit.
Next, replace the blown center 6x9 in the dash...lmao yep it has 1 speaker!
Next weekend adds: window tint, upgrade radio with line-in input, power inverter, extra 3 bank of 12v power outlets.
Shibby that's not working right:
So I gotta bad squeal when I turn the steering wheel.
Also, 4x4 dash light comes on when I start the truck (so I know it's not the bulb) but doesn't come on when shifted into 4wd.
Thoughts?
The use: tow my snowmobile trailer and 30' camper... Have yet to acquire the camper, selling the Motorhome right now!
