Greetings from Central Illinois

Post by RFF1971 »

*Updated 7/24/14*
1971 F250 long bed, 360 Automatic
Parchment/Dark Red
Built in Detroit in Feb 1971
Ordered from Davenport, IA

Last owner went over the engine/drivetrain, brakes, electrical, installed trailer hitch, painted red/white with Rustoleum.

My plan is to remove hitch (this bump will only haul ass), replace front drums with discs, upgrade wiper system, parking brake, and headlights. The engine is sound but I will have my guy take a look. Suspension bushings and new shocks, drop a couple inches and add Coker whitewalls after painting wheels. Going flat black with alligator hood ornament, Mardi Gras pinstripes (purple, yellow, green). I have a headliner idea for a collage including pictures, posters, and artwork from my home state of Louisiana.
