Project Cars/Trucks

[AgronAlum]

I’m sure there are plenty of folks on here working on some project vehicles. I haven’t had any vehicle projects since before the kids until now. I got talked into a 1993 F250 460 that an extended family member had parked for the last 6 years. Bought it for cheap and have been running it around.

So far -
Front fuel tank
Fuel Pump/Sender Assembly
Fuel Filter
Oil Change
Tranny Fluid
Coolant Flush
Power Steering Fluid
Deep Clean

Up next is some paint work and more cleaning. The 8’ bed has already come in handy.



What are your projects?

Youngest daughter is finishing up year 2 at ISU. When she's done and off the payroll, I'm getting a 1979 Chevy K5 Blazer and having it fixed up and restored. Two-tone exterior color. Bench seats front and back.

Have one when you were younger? I feel like I lean towards the vehicles I had in my younger years. My first car was a 93 Ranger which is the same year as this truck.

I also went through about 6-8 Jeeps over that time period after getting my license and it makes me absolutely long for another TJ wrangler. This was my absolute baby I sold when my first kid was born. I never should have sold it for as cheap as I did. I sold this and a 95 Silverado as a package deal for like 6 grand. Granted the Chevy was a POS.

No, but a buddy of mine had a '76 GMC Jimmy that we double-dated in for Homecoming during HS. I always loved that ride. I did have a '92 Blazer at one point. I just always wanted a mid- to late-70s K5, they were so cool. Not sure what two-toned scheme I'd go with, maybe a matte black and wood tone or something. Maybe yellow out the headlights. This one looks badass...
