Korinn's Work in Progress

This 1979 Ford F-350 is Korinn's truck project. We got an awesome deal on this truck. We paid $150 dollars for it. It came with the dana 60's and no front clip. The 60's are worth more than we paid and I don't think that we really need 1 ton axels under my truck so they are for sale. I plan to replace the axels with a set of dana 44's which will be sufficient for the moderate trail riding we do. The bed and the cab are in good shape. They need some minor work but that won't be for a while. I have purchased new fenders which we have to go pick up. We also have a 460 for it. As you can see from the picture there are 3 Mickey Thompson's and 1 stock tire. Evidently, someone else needed one tire more than we did. Oh well!! We will be working on Tom's truck before we start this project. Check back for more details on the frame swap.

1979 F-250

Hey Everyone! I am very new to this blogging stuff so bear with my site untill I figure this out. I am 27, married and we love to build 70's model Ford Trucks. My husband has built many before we got married and knows a great deal more than me. I get most of my info from him. He has an unlimited amount of Ford knowledge tucked away in his brain. We were both born in the late 70's and that has seemed to be the years we are most attracted to.
Over the next 2 weeks or so I will be posting some pictures as we change the frame in Tom's 1979 Black and Purple Ford F-250. Right now its on the wrong frame because we couldn't find the right one at the time we put it back together. This truck has been taken apart a few times for various reasons. Now that we have the right frame, we are once again tearing it apart just to put it back together.
We are partial to Ford Big Blocks and generally only run 460's. This truck has a stock 460, however, it has some minor oil leaks as it was taken out of a 1977 Linclon Continential. While we are switching frames the engine will get the necessary seals to stop the leaks. I will keep this blog updated as we work. New pictures and entries are coming soon.
