So i had posted a while back about a friend selling a cheap 95 powerstroke dually utility body, that had a bad injector. I asked everyone's opinion and everyone told me to pick her up for $3500 with the plow.
I ended up running some diagnostic stuff and figured out which injector was bad, and replaced it. She runs like quite the lady now.
When i purchased it, it had recently had a new transmission, a new oil pan, a new front end, new rear leafs (F450), and numerous other things. It also came with the plow.
As the winter progressed and we got no snow, I drove it very little, but i really liked this truck. So, a few weeks back I decided I wasn't going to let the old girl rot away anymore, and I began to plan my restoration.
Here are some photos of the first steps, getting the utility body off, which had been welded on with steel plates.
In this last photo you can see my buddy goin to town on the chassis, the original plan was simple:
-Convert it back to the single rear wheel by taking off the adapters
-Clean and paint the rear half of the chassis
-put a new bed on her
-new tires
and then finally repaint the entire truck the Oxford White it was originally.
But then, I decided if I'm doing it once I'm doing it right all the way.
So we cleaned the chassis and got her painted, and then the cab fun started.
The more I started getting into the cab, the more I realized how bad both doors were rotted. I scored a pair for $25, so those will be going on.
