A diamond in the rough. A new project.

6.0Powerjoke · Dec 7, 2013

Purchased another project truck this past week.
2005 F-350 RCLB 4x4. Truck only has 82k on it. Body rough. Gay stack.
Was told it puked when driven. Put about 15 miles on it and it hasn't puked yet but does have signs around the degas that it did. Truck is extremely tight, which I wasn't expecting. Not a single sound from the suspension.

Undecided on what I will ultimately do with the truck. Either turn it into a plow truck or flip it as I think there is money to be made based on the low mileage.

I found a good used matching LF fender for it. Bought a new front bumper and brackets from Ford. Aside from the crease in the bed side it should clean up decently.

Probably going to lift the cab here soon and bulletproof it. Have a WW2 and coolant filter coming from Dieselsite. I'll send the heads out and stud it along with the other associated items.

Or it could be a shorty... or a fast sleeper street truck. Rock on dude!

That stack is awful! Haha what'd you give for it? Just curious

I love a project! Keep us updated, I would love to see it become a fast project truck though. haha.

First thing I would have done, right after the title changed hands, was pull that stack off and beat the previous owner with it.

That truck has a lot of potential.

Mdub707 · Dec 9, 2013

Basically exactly what I'm looking for... a RC/LB 4x4 6.0 that needs a little work. If you're interested in selling, shoot me a PM with a price you need to let it go.

Won't be able to get the passenger side head on with those studs already screwed in, that's if the exhaust manifold is already on the head anyway

Manifolds were installed after.

Right on. I always just screw the studs in after I set the head on.

Worked on her some more tonight. Since it may become the plow truck we slapped on a dual alt setup we had laying around. Also when we went to put a wicked wheel in the turbo it was shot leaking oil out the turbine. So we swapped a 03 on that was laying around.
