1992 F150 Project "Finished"

Well I finally got it done!

I bought the truck 11/11/13 and 11/20/2014 she was finished. Rebuilt, Registered and Inspected to the State of Maine standards.

It has been a long year. Many times I wanted to throw in the towel and quit. I kept going along and working away at it.

As a update from my last one regarding this project, I was given to opportunity to trade out my worn out body panels to some better ones on a truck that could not be registered because there was no title of ownership.

From NH, had no title

 My friend got the 1995 with intentions of making it into a demolition derby/race truck. He offered the better parts off it and he would take my worse and more rusty parts.

After I mounted it all back on, I was offered the parts.

 I started ripping apart the two trucks and swapping parts.

The two trucks with no doors. A lot of fun to drive this way.

After I got the doors, the fender and bed, I started putting them back together.

And then we send the 1995 off.

We ended up doing the entire body switch in 4 afternoons after school and after work. We did this all while my father was working in Connecticut from Monday Morning-Thursday Night. His reaction was priceless with "Is that the same POS truck?"

After this I had to spend a lot of time working and making money for the next step.

I hired my friend and his father to weld in patch panels and the rollpan bumper and paint the truck.

It took all summer for me to make up the money and for them to get the truck, which upset me a little bit because I was heading off to College and had to spend 10 days out of contact and a month and a half of not being able to go home. 

When I got home they proved they spent their time wisely and did good and careful work.

It really turned out clean. All of my brothers, my best friends Dylan and Mike made this thing turn out great. Not many kids can say they built their first truck.

I honestly love this truck. I was planning on inheriting a 1989 F150 and doing the same thing a few years back, but I had plans change and I got this instead.

Now as my need for a vehicle get more important, I must decide if I want to continue working on this, or buy something a little newer, and something 4x4 to get to the good canoeing spots... Jeep GMC Z71 F250?

My next options would be to fix a few odd and end thing on this, and maybe upgrade the Engine and Transmission. Big Block? 351 4 Speed? who knows. Only time will tell.
