    My 1985 F-250 Diesel Build

    Thanks Chris, appreciate you commenting. I absolutely love what you did with yours! I love the fact that yours was a family rig too, it really does make it a more special build and a lot easier to want to invest in them regardless of what they are.

    My 1985 F-250 Diesel Build

    After all that work back in 2019, I really didn't have to do much to the truck at all. It started every time, drove well and was ultimately reliable when I needed it to be. Which brings us to present day, now that I'm ready to build this into an adventure rig I've been driving it a lot more to...

    My 1985 F-250 Diesel Build

    With the diesel swap done, I had a few small projects that I got done over the next few months. I fixed the rear tire carrier, repainted some interior panels, installed new tie rod ends & installed new leaf springs & shocks because the original ones were waxed. Here's a few progress pics...

    My 1985 F-250 Diesel Build

    After putting the truck on hiatus for a couple days, it was time to get back to work. With the 3 day memorial weekend ahead of us we were ready to grind and get this thing done. The cab was in bad shape and had been previously welded on before. Everything that we re-welded had been touched by a...

    Now that I got the 86, it was time to start getting to work. On Saturday I had my old 85 towed over to my buddy's house where we would be doing the swap. I drove the 86 over there and we started cleaning up and making room for the swap. First thing we wanted to do was build a little cart...

    My 1985 F-250 Diesel Build

    That is exactly what I'm going for (minus the Keystone camper) I'm pretty excited about it! My truck was originally a 460, but I converted it to the 6.9 IDI a few years ago. I've got the build documented on a Ford forum so I'm going to post up my whole thread to get this one up to speed.

    My 1985 F-250 Diesel Build

    This truck has been in the family since 1987 when my dad bought it off of a company that used it to maintain phone lines. Since the mid 90's my dad kept it up in the White Mountains at our family cabin to use as a farm truck. Here's the earliest picture I have of it (without digging through the...

    My 1985 F-250 Diesel Build

    Hey everyone! Long time lurker, but I figured now is the time that I document my first overlanding/adventure build. I’ve owned and modded a ton of 4x4’s in the past, but with my crawling & heavy off roading days behind me I figure it’s time to build something that’s capable and more comfortable...
