I am a little old school for the "lay frame & 22s" thing. I am REALLY enjoying your fabrication though - Very Nice Work!

heard there was a lincoln with a 460 at a local yard, went up there to get a few things today. also found a 65 f250 custom cab 4x4 in the same yard... looked like a loaded azz truck! robbed a few things off it too.

valve covers
Image

alt brackets. im gunna fab up new p/s brackets
Image


im kinda new to these trucks.. can anyone tell the story on this cluster? i know its a custom cab one, but ive never seen one with the 2 outter gauges like this one. it appears completely factory so im curious is it a 4x4 thing? a 65-66 thing or what?

Image


i have no need for this stuff, but it looked to be in good shape so i figured id save it. maybe some else could use it
