Message: [QUOTE="GreenMachine, post: 320814, member: 337"] 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.

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.

I scored a pair for $25, so those will be going on. [ATTACH=full]85201[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]85203[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
