Thread: 1976 f250

Here's my ol' Hayhauler. Bought new by my grandparents from Parker Ford, this truck spent most of it's life in AZ. They use to run the General store in Black Meadow Landing, Lake Havasu. After my grandpa passed, my grandma moved to Bullhead in the mid-80's. I brought it home 12 years ago. Been enjoying it ever since!

nice truck bro whats your plans for it?

Building it to chase and play. I would like some 2.5 c/o in the front, deaver's and smoothy's in the rear. Cab cage, bed cage. Just have fun with it!

if u ever need spare parts i can get u whatever u need body, grill, susp., u name it!

clean truck an should be a lot of fun!

Is that an Autofab kit on the front? If not, what all is done to it as of right now? Looks clean, I dig it.

do you happen to live or drive threw rsm all the time? if so i have seen this truck and it is awsome.

truck is looking good bro! im in the process of putting a new front end on mine. its in the garage on jack stands!

He does live in RSM and yes - the truck is definitely sweet. I have driven it and worked on it (briefly) and it's a nice ride. We should be adding a few more cool touches soon.

As of now it does have the autofab kit up front and I will hopefully be helping him reach his goal of getting those c/o's on the front, etc.

Yea guys, thats me in RSM. Next time you see me, give me shout! Or if your crusin by, same thing.
Yea, jusSumguoy said it, autofab 5" coils and beams, extended radius arms, stock leafs out back with the overloads pulled out. Dual 5100 Bilstien's up front, and the stock TRD Bilstien's off my Tacoma out back! (hey, they were laying around, why not).
In May, my truck had what we thought was an ignition problem. So in the shop it went. Well, it came out in August with a built 460! So now I eat a lot of Mack-n-cheese cuz I'm broke, but my truck runs good!! Thanks for the props, see you out there.
boo-ya, good to hear from you... L8R

i knew it was this truck. ill honk or wave next time i see it.

Same here, I could walk down the hill in less than 5 minutes to check it out.

cruz by. I just put my chase radio in today. Using the mag mount for now from my 'Taco, till I get a permanent mount.

My buddy Steve built me these bed support bars, scored the bed box from a buddies garage.

what did you end up doing for a motor? mike called and asked if i knew where to get one. i keep meaning to stop by and see mike and check out your truck.

had the 460 built in her. Next time you're over, we'll go for ride. But you gotta give me a ride in yours!

wayne's bronco is rad that thing owned the dunes. nice old school

i just bought a 71 f250 camper special from my GF uncle for 1k perfect condition 390 auto 2wd
I really like the old trucks, yours is clean.
mine is the that goldish brown not so attractive..

Awesome truck! I've always had a thing for long beds. I also want to do some sort of bed supports as well, but maybe tie them into the rear bumper. Keep the updates coming!

Post up he bigger version of the wheelie shot mang!

You got it man. You'll have to let me know ahead of time, a very long time lol. Im hoping by next spring to have the truck in tip top shape. I will try to get as much info as i can on the ford. The owner comes around once in a while, then disappears for months lol.

I thought of another good way to do it that could be cheaper depending on what John says. It's pretty easy to do too! I'll fill you in when we chat net.

I'm up for the next trip too. Always wanted to do that. And if Ness goes maybe I can convince Karen to. I'd love to take the crew!

10-4 steve, always looking for a alternative!
