Land-Shark Projects: 1992 F-150

So this is my personal, first purchased vehicle.

It is a 1992 Ford F-150, 300 I6, Automatic, 2wd, Longbed, Single Cab.

I bought it in November, with hopes of turning it into my first truck.

I have been throwing money at this for a while. I love this little truck. It is currently disassembled in my driveway, but no matter how ugly it looks, I just have visions for it.

I wanted to improve the stance, so I replaced the rear shocks, and added new 2" drop shackles. This will bring the very back of the truck down, to look more balanced.

I plan on fixing the rust it has, when my funds become available. Once that is done, I plan on painting the truck red, with matte black stripes down the hood.

Later on, depending if I keep it long, I want to upgrade the old worn out 300 Straight Six, and put in a mildly rebuilt 302. Keeping it an automatic.

I want a fun, but functional work truck.
This is when I first got it
