Sled deck on a half ton, kind of...

Thought some of you might find this cool, one of the local guys Mike Reeve put this truck together, '79 F250 on a '13 ecoboost chassis.

Mike is also a director/producer of the 509 videos, and does a lot of filming of the jetboat races.

Wow that is killer! Only thing I would change is using a 73-77 grill.

Pretty cool

Brings me back to the stock car racing days. 77 250 super cab with a 460 and a built C6. I am by no means a Ford guy, but that thing was unstoppable as long as you could keep fuel in the tanks.

 

[Beer Slayer]

Very cool!
Great job!
Even hooked up the brake controller, hmmm

That thing turned out nice. I'm currently swapping a 77 F-100 onto a 2010 Crown Vic chasis.

My buddy in Airdrie is working on the same project. They look cool with that really short wheelbase.

 

[BEL]

Very cool, thanks for sharing - even got you a Silver Badge!

 

[Pistonbroke]

Very Good work on this unit.


Given the "sled deck on a F-150" theme, I wonder what his real GVW and axle weights will be? That's a heavy steel body on what was an aluminum pop can originally...
