Perry's dads "99" power stroke

[Perry]

Since I can't get photopoint to link to this page, I'll give you the link to our pictures.

This is pictures of my dad's 99 Power stroke built up from a rolled truck. We hope to have it running by next weekend if all goes well.

It took Ford three extra weeks to get us the cab, so we are behind on it. My folks are planning a trip to Canada the last week of this month so we don't have much time. So far it is going really well I think since we didn't really start on it until last weekend.

I got some more pictures up tonight.

We got the new cab put on the chassis and it went a LOT better with three hoists. Calvin started to put the dash all back into the new cab. We are hoping to have it running again by Weds. evening.
We will still have the box to put on, but it is on the way.

The truck is all finished. We had to put the old steps back on since the new ones didn't make it in time. Mom and dad leave tomorrow for Canada. here are more pictures.

Looks very good Perry! I like the graphic on the side, I think that makes it look very cool! I also like the pic of just the rolling chassy (sp?). I didnt realize the newer Powerstrokes had the shackle reversal on the front.

Was this an insurance buy? whats the outcome price on doing this work. i guess knowing how to do it yourself cuts down a whole lot. just wondering what the cost would be as to buy one like it thats good.

Yes it was a insurance buy. He bought it from a place the insurance companies take the cars after they settle with the owners.

The guy that my dad shares his shop with just bought one just like this just lot rolled as bad and he paid $10,000.00 and should have it done for around $15,000.00. My dad I think has $18,000.00 in his.

At least you know when you are done it will be a good vehicle.
