Project White Salvage:

I suppose its time for another build....Thanks to some friends in the North Jersey area, i have picked up a new (to me) 2006 single cab long bed f-250 XL 6.0. Truck was used as an appartment complex service truck, and has seen some better days. However to me it looks like a great plat form for so many different possablilities.

Il be picking up the truck tonight, and i will get some pictures of it posted up in the Morning. This truck has been offically titled White Salvage, as we are planning to bring it back from the dead.

What we know, truck has an oil leak ( The valley fills up with oil after about 5-10 minutes of idling, then spills over the side of the motor) believed to be in need of a new oil cooler. Also will need a new front hub, possibly an oil pan, new bed, soem interior help, and some other cosmetics. We are unsure of the direction the truck will take, but the first goal as stated above, get the truck running and back on the road.....Pics to follow

Subbed. Love a good build thread

sent by the beard

Here we go again! Can't wait for the build buddy. I say chop the frame and make it a short bed, and don't forget all the go fast parts! Sub'd

Last night i finally got the truck back home. Had the truck running for about 2 minutes to load it up on the trailer, by the time we got it strapped down, there was a nice pool of oil sitting under the truck!

Looking forward to seeing this one...

Here is a picture loaded up on the trailer last night, il get some more up monday when i get some day light shots.

Cool! Make it go fast real fast give it a s472 and some hybrids!

Well here is the list so far:
4" turbo back exhaust
Updated oil cooler
Fuel pressure spring
New Harley head lights
New Harley grille
New front bumper (might do ptm)


Next on the list will need to be a bed/ gate/ bumper
Them some interior work
Not sure where to after that

I love builds like this! Cantwait too see what you end up with!

Mark that is awesome, good find!:joy:

Nice find!

Hard to tell, 2wd or 4wd? Either way should be a cool truck when it's done

Mark cut it up make it a short bed, lower it, big power setup and oh, that KR interior we talked about!!

there actually boxed up and sold already, shipping em out tongiht...thanks though

Fordfreak, those headlights are making a small trip west to missouri. Looks like you have your work cut out for you Mark, did that thing used to have a plow on it? Looks like they made theirselves extra work around the complex by backing into sh1t, good luck with the build!

yea truck has a western unimount plow frame on it, plow did not come with the truck though. and yes they seemed to have an issues with keeping the bed straight, got my eye on a complete bed set up down near philly, so may have to go pick that up this weekend or next week. Lights will be headed out your way very shortly!

well im happy to report that after having the truck for a week, i still have not had 3 minutes to do anything other than pull the headlights out of the truck. I hope to get some time this weekend and hopefully get the new oil cooler on the truck.
