74 Ford-F250, soon to be running a cummins....

Just bought a 74 Ford F250, hoping to drop a cummins in real soon...swapped the nasty 20's off her/a little blingy for me, $20 bucks in sprayon bedliner and black paint, wa-la! Cosmetically she's a new truck.....anyways, just wanted to share with you guys. I'll keep ya posted. Got my eye on a motor, so we'll see what happens... Have a great day.

Can't beat a Ford with a Cummins. It's cool to pull up to a parts house or gas station and seeing the surprised look on peoples faces.

Unless it's untaxed, then it's red.

Yep, my dream truck right there, except in green. I loaded one in my days at the sod farm and it took two pallets of sod without hesitation. Most 3/4 tons could only handle one.

Your truck is my dream truck! My wife said I could get a crewcab when we get some kids, but then she said that it'd be her truck...oh well though. As long as I get to drive her sometimes.

Its got a skyjacker lift, GM 14 bolt 1 ton rear, Dana 60 front, heated seats, interiors almost restored, then I swapped those 38"x20's out for some 37x17 tires and blacked out rims....looks way better in my opinion...
