1969 Ford F250 Crew Cab full custom build

[IML726]

I have a 1969 Ford F250 Crew Cab that I bought in 2017. The previous owner said it was a utility vehicle for the railroad in AZ. It came with a SBF 302 and a 4 speed manual transmission. The original plan was for a modern upgrades and keep as a daily driver. That plan morphed into a full custom build. It now sits on a new bagged/body drop chassis from Acme Chassis Factory of Houston, TX. It has a 2019 Gen 3 Coyote with a 10R80 transmission. The brakes have been upgraded to Wilwood 6 piston disc brakes. The wheels are 24x9 and 24x15. It has complete stainless steel hardlines for the brakes, fuel, and air suspension. It also has Ultimate Headers and a custom 3" stainless steel exhaust with FlowMaster mufflers.

Below is a link to all the photos of the truck since I bought it.

Wow, a lot of work to this point. Doesn't look much like a daily anymore though.

[IML726]

Lol, nope. Now I have to buy another truck to be the daily driver and tow this truck.

Was there supposed to be a link here Paul?
That'd be a bad to the bone ride!

Stop it man LOL!

I'm drooling all over my keyboard!

I've got Coyote on my wishlist too, (but for an airboat application to smoke a few chebbies that so many airboaters run down here).

Promise us a video of it smoking the tires please!

Awesome one of a kind frame off build for sure and congrats on all the hard work and the progress so far.

What kind of control will be on the throttle body?

And is that a 56' Ispy in the background of the one pic?

My older brother up in the Atlanta area built a frame off 56' years ago.

Thank you. It's at the sheet metal shop right now. The shop owner has a few Fords in his possession. I'm not sure what year the one in the background is.

For now, the plan is for the engine to be mostly stock except for a BOSS intake manifold and replacing the cams.

There is a ton of sheet metal work to be done. Starting work on the floor pan and tunnel, then moving on to firewall.

Current status. First time with the front end on since the truck was taken apart. Waiting on hood hinges to check clearance for the intake manifold. The hood will need some work to clear the manifold.
Firewall is being finished up. Placed a Kugel Komponents remote master cylinder behind the dash bc there wasn't enough space due to the engine sitting higher. We'll also use Wilwood remote brake fluid reservoir. Waiting on the Restomodair Haymaker to determine fitment behind the dash.
Lots of sheet metal work left to do.
