    Default 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!

    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!

    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.

    Don't laugh, because when you break, this truck is gonna carry the tools to fix your truck.

    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.

    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!

    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.
