I decided to go all in on this truck. Instead of just fixing her up to drive I am going to do a frame off restoration. So here's what I have to work with...
The good-
8 lug D44 front axle with Ford hubs and 4:10 gears
Eaton HO52 rear axle
Freshly rebuilt 454, 2 bolt mains, oval port heads
A TH350 and a TH400 transmission, both in unknown condition
NP205 Tcase
Nice original hood
Nice original grill and cowl
The bad-
Everything else.
Seriously most everything else on this truck is junk. I don't have the tools, time, or knowhow to save most of this stuff, so it will either be trashed or sold to somebody who thinks they can fix it.
This project just became very expensive!
