Your tires look good. I'd be proud to own that truck. Yours looks better than what I began with. The parts are out there to fix them. Ford still makes a lot of stuff for them. Rust free beds are around, and all the patch panels can all be had aftermarket. LMC is way overpriced but the same panels can be found elsewhere. I bought some locally and fabbed the rest. I've had good experiences with Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. These trucks are a dime a dozen in the junkyards and there's at least 10 of them on my local Craigslist under $1000 to use as parts trucks. Good luck with your truck. Make a thread for it, or at least give us some updates as you make progress on it!

thanks. yeah i have been buying parts for LMC and Jeffs Bronco Grave Yard. got the new fender a couple weeks ago. and the inner and outer rocker got the new cab support today and the outter floor panel. i price around when it comes to parts. i get them from Lmc, ebay,amozon and rockauto. i did the drivers side last year. i use this truck for snow and mowing trying to get the passengers side done before mowing starts.

Nice "mostly" finished project! I have a soft spot for the 80's through mid 90's fords. Dad has had some form of the same 6.9 IDI pickup since the early 90's. No power house by todays means but in 92 or whatever when he got it it was that or a dodge cummins which was a like driving a pickup from the 70's

I have been half looking for a clean 95-97 powerstroke with the small extended cab and short bed for a few years but they dont come up for sale often. I am almost at the point where i might need to buy a long bed regular cab one and then swap the cab and box from a clean f150.

It's easy to see the problem with those trucks. They circle it in Blue on the front of it. 🙂
