95 ccsb f250 srw

[kraker829]

I have the opportunity to build the exact truck i want just looking for input or maybe encouragement. I have a ccsb 2wd truck at work with a 460 auto. I want to change to 7.3 5 speed 4wd f350. I have a donor truck right now w187xxx on the clock got it fairly cheap because owner thought fuel pump went out. Anyways runs like a top now but it's a rclb. I work on 6.0s and 7.3s everyday so I'm definitely not afraid of the work just wondering if I'm biting off more than i should.

I think I used the wrong title.....

go for it. it'll be much easier with a donor truck. is the donor a 350 or 250?

[kraker829]

96 350 whoever had it before the kid i bought it from redid most of the truck. Body work is 10 foot quality but it's probably too nice for a donor

no donor is to nice lol, it all really depends on what you want in the end, but willing to bet you could get a nice donor looking truck and cash on top of what you have now so that you have extra funding for what you want, good luck, this sounds like a fun project

Still in the decision phase my boss doesn't want the crew cab so I have time to play with options. I could sell the 350 and buy a99 to 03 ccsb but i like the obs better. I was originally going to do a Cummins into a suburban until I got offered good money for my dodge donor. Of course my boss basically giving me the ccsb and saying he'd rather I drove a Ford helped.

that is the best to drive a ford imho lol, and well hel if ya know what your doing and have the stuff to do it, run it. just make yourself the right truck. if you cant buy it build it

So i stayed late at work and tidied up the rc gonna drive it for a bit with a for sale sign in it. Looked over that crew cab real close and decided I want it so unless i find a better ccsb this project is on...now i need a cheap donor gonna check the auctions...as soon as i read the how to sticky on pictures I'll post up my basket case cc

[kraker829]

it's definitely a 10 footer but it's a solid truck. I'll post better pics after it's cleaned up and this snow melts. This is a pic from the cl add.
