My wife says I have too many and need to get one finished before starting another. I like to paddle with one until I get frustrated and then move to another for a little while. Gives me plenty to do when I don't have anything important to do.

'96 f150 I'm 4wd swapping. 5.0 runs, have all the parts just have to assemble. 6" long arm BDS lift and old school welds on boggers.


1976 f250 that was swamped in Harvey. Got the 300 I-6 running, re-working brake system and rebuilding Dana 44 front axle.


Just picked this '93 f350 7.3 non turbo up. No idea whats wrong with it.


'95 short bed f150. Plan to coyote swap. Haven't touched it yet.


1974 tag-a-long camper. Complete gut job. It's the trailer my wife stayed in as a kid at their place in junction before they built a cabin.




What are y'all working on?

Mostly just maintenance for me. Tractor and implements, 3 vehicles, 4 wheeler, mule, two cabins and my house, mower and yard equipment. Seems something always needs attention.

No more projects for me, just maintenance. Just did fluid change on Mule, need to do annual oil change on the ‘68 Bronco. F350 will be due an oil change, along with fuel and air filter change soon.

I'm a Ford man too. Great projects

I always have a few projects partially done, mostly wood working. Depending on the mood, weather, time, etc on which one I will work on.
I like that '76

Very cool you have the room to piddle on a lot of stuff

Dig that '76: Love Ford's 300 six cyl. Run forever. Hopefully its got a T-18 or NP-435 manual tranny and a 205 transfercase.

Buying another house, then renting it, and then possibly 1 in Childress for a rental but I’ll be putting a tiny home in the backyard for my personal use and VRBO.

I got tired of working on cars, as much as I love classics, my next toy car purchase will be a Porsche Turbo S

You’re right… you’ve got a lot of fun projects going!

Finish shop cabinets and work bench in new shop, this will be a December project. There's deer and elk that need Killin first.

Not working on anything at the moment. Just getting ready for deer season. But I do need to dip all the corn out of feeder #4 and remove the bad corn and then refill. Need dry weather for that.

Long range, I may need to build another baby cradle (probably in Cherry) for great grandkids, but don’t actually have anybody that’s about to have a baby. They better get after it while I can still build cradles. And it wouldn’t hurt to turn one more wooden bowl - for a step-granddaughter.

And there are several more dead trees, and blah blah blah…thank God I got that new tractor with a grapple.

And just remembered that I have a lot of wood to split. Man, I’m now tired.

Projects?





You think you got projects. I am 77 years old. I think I have enough to keep me covered. That does not even count taking care of all the stuff that goes on with the ranch.

My best friend bought his first house a month ago. I was his realtor and we were supposed to do the remodel/updating together, but he's been out of town 2 out of the last 4 weeks...and works 9 to 5 Monday through Friday, so most of it has been done by me and his father. His dad put down vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms and I have painted all the bedrooms (including the ceilings (my best friend did help on some of those)) and hallways. His dad did paint the trim for me as the arthritis is getting worse in my right hip and getting down on the floor to paint it is too hard (well, getting down is easy, it's the moving around and getting up that's the issue). I've also replaced 3 of the light fixtures with fans, cleaned, changed out the ac registers, found furniture, 8 interior doors (still need 2 more and a new front door) at a very reasonable price, cleaned all the kitchen cabinets and put in new shelf liner, painted the laundry room and installed the washer and dryer...working on turning a base of one table and the table top from another into a workspace for him in the front room...which still needs to be painted. He wants to paint the living room, but it has paneling and it's either gotta be removed or we're gonna have to fill in the lines and sand and a bunch of other junk. So, I've pretty much done everything I'm willing to do by myself and he's going to have to put in some sweat equity to get the rest done. I don't mind doing the work and can do some of it in between my clients since I only work 10 minutes away, but still. I told him we needed to get the outside ready for the rains and cold weather, but his girlfriend's birthday is today and he couldn't be bothered with working around his own house, so I couldn't be bothered either.

I like that jeep don

Nice Early Model Bronco. Don't see too many (uncut).

I need to put my Half Cab up and restore it.

Waited for the hottest part of the year to get off my butt and finish the white Ford. Got the transmission swapped, t-case installed, dana 44 in place, radius arms, coils and springs installed. Still have to pull the rear springs and swap out for the BDS 6" springs but I'm getting close.
I've got the front on 35" Coopers on the stock wheels for now. Waiting on 33" Boggers to mount on a set of Welds ibpolished up.

Y’all got some good ones

That'll be sweet when finished.

Take that 95 roller 351 out and 393 build it and stick it in the white 96 single cab.

Helping a friend with one now. 71 F-100 with a 390 and Holley EFI. THE 393 build is in motion with a 4 speed auto out of a 96 F-250. Full build all around. Cal-Tracs installed.

Honestly the 390 is built already. I think he’s only getting another gear and way better gas mileage.

What am I working on? My HCI. I have to fix others' vehicles so no car projects on the side. Golf has been good to me. Guitar has been decent although I am not. I'm NOT a F*** guy but more power to you. Some day I'll get a job doing nothing but wiring on high end builds so I can relax.

Super Swampers will be here on Tuesday.

It’s got the Cali lean

Flip I posted above as well. Looks like you've attracted the real Ford DIY guys outside of guzzler to this thread which is awesome. Hats off to you for making great progress on these fine trucks. I owned an 88 and 92 back in the day. These were amazing vehicles. Other than the 88 5.0 5-speed 4x4 got 11 miles per gallon no matter what I did.

If I may offer one suggestion for your consideration. I don't think I would do that coyote swap in the 92-96 body style. Of course I look at everything every project I've ever done is what will it sell for when I'm done. I would think that pulled off in an 80- 86, 78-79 would bring more money at the end of the day as I think those are more desirable. Of course if you can pull this off in a 4x4 are you going to add 35-50% more sale value on top of that! Keep going man! Keep reporting in it's great.

Carolina Squat out east.

Neat projects
