Been working on my 90 f150 4x4 scsb for a yr now the plastic welder I bought has been a life saver

Watching from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I love seeing these old trucks being refreshed. Keep up the videos!!

Those cracks on the rear driver's corner look like Bondo. Great truck! looking forward to vicariously fixing it up with you.

Currently restoring a 93 bronco. Can’t wait to watch this build

Thanks Jackson, I've got a 91 xlt that needs tlc as well. I'm interested in the carb conversion on my 4.9 I6 too. Don't know about going the turbo route though, just want a solid driver without so much garbage under the hood. Thanks for video. Steve from pa

I am a year into my 1991 xlt lariat extended cab body rebuild and engine overhaul. I will tell you man anything OEM 8th gen f150 is a nightmare to come by. Happy hunting. I will be watching how this goes . Good luck .

..only half-way thru, and I really hope you keep this project series going - the more little details the better. Nice format so far, we have the.exact.same.truck. but in brown - same leaky windshield rust on the drivers rocker, not quite to your extent; same down to the faded front lockers and sweet old wheels! Looking forward to your progress and ideas, I'm following intently, heh.

!!!DOPE!!!

Keep the videos coming! I'm going to be picking up a family members 1987 F150 later this year. This is holding me over until I can get my hands dirty too.

I'm 2.5 years into my 1989 4x4 5.0 short box, stoked for you man. Mine was 10x worse than yours re: rust. I wonder if the front driveshaft exploded causing that sheet metal by the shifter boot to crumple? One thing that makes the instrument cluster look 100x better is painting the gauge needles! Orange paint on the needles, trust me ; )

Good Job young man, these Bull and Brick Nose F150's have become THE hot truck build now because they are the last of the affordable classic truck, even the OBS Chevy's are getting out of reach for alot guys but you can still find these 7th, 8th and 9th Gen F150's that run and drive for $2000-$2500 all day long. Have fun with that build bud. 1 thing I would do though is while the interior is all apart I'd change the colors, Krylon makes a REALLY good plastic paint for that and it's reasonable cheap. I personally would go with Grey or Black and then clear coat it afterwards.

Man I will tell you 8th generation interiors are not in any way easy to source parts for or anything bricknose really. Its been a nightmare for me a year into rebuilding my 1991 and I have a 1993 next. 7th and 9th generations as I have seen it are way easier to restore parts availability wise I am not sure why that is . I think that will probably get harder as more people snatch them up.

@@hybridagri maybe, but alot of the guys and girls for that matter aren't doing a 500 point nut and bolt restoration. They aren't looking for a specific year seat or a specific color dash, They are buying what they can find and customizing them to daily drive and have fun on the weekends to fit their needs.

Loosen all the bumper brackets for the rear bumper. You should be able to straighten it out. I would keep the u-haul trailer hitch, as it spreads the load of a trailer to the frame rails instead of a bumper installed ball hitch. The fuel line must be the hard plastic type! That hack job is a fire waiting to erupt. You can find a good used tailgate at your local pull-a-apart junkyard. LMC and AMD have floor patch panels. Have a local upholstery shop re-skin the headliner with a new cloth sheet.

That's quite a project you have on your hands. Should be fun, but don't break the bank.

The rust on your driver's side could be caused by a seam up by your windshield leaking or your windshield leaking it is puddling up inside that trough and rust out

Great video man. I love it.

Bro love the video I love this episode can’t wait to see the next one bro I wanna see you restore that brick nose

My neighbor's Ranger had floorboard damage like that after he borrowed my floor jack and tried to jack the whole side of his truck. Naturally, the jack slipped off the frame and pounded up through the floor of the truck. Total ding dong.

If you're gonna rebuild the axle i would consider swaping them to a 05 super duty axle set up. Lot stronger axles. In my opinion nice truck.

Hey, you have the rare and elusive spare tire

I know A guy for your winch mount

Know what lift is on it?

wow, that fuel line just proves once again that it's a thin line between incompetent shade tree mechanic and criminally irresponsible.
