Got an itch to scratch for trails, and whatnot. Come from a weekend fun mud bog background that I have experience with while building and having fun with my dad when I was not old enough to drive. (Which was not very long ago). I always wanted to have a nice on the inside rough on the outside truck and I think this is exactly why I lean this direction. Scratches, dents etc are just character and stories. Make the drivetrain solid and interior nice to take down the highway to visit the farm or the badlands here in Saskatchewan Canada.

Been a Chevrolet guy my whole life so this 84 F250 Bullnose is uncharted territory for me and it doesn't seem a lot of guys build these trucks for this purpose. So it will be exciting to learn as I go. With the 460, 4 Speed and 4x4 setup I will have a big of a challenge in the hills but just makes it even more fun or stressful.

Done some work to the truck. Basically maintenance but excited to try retrofit stuff and make this truck my own. If anyone has tips or tricks I am all for it. Even better if its something the junkyard can provide.

Nice truck! I had an '84 F-150 (5.0, NP435, 4x4, 6" lift, 35" tires) for a long time. Similar philosophy. Weekend mud bogs and hooligan stuff. Other than the front wheel bearings (TTB seemed to eat 'em but I was young and probably installed wrong) the truck was absolutely bulletproof. Sold it, accidentally found it years later, and ironically it was full of bullet holes!

I know. Its good to have some inspiration and experience as I do plan on doing the same stuff just in a different place of the world. And no offence to the group around here. The guys up here dont build cool stuff like I see here.

Fair enough. We aren't anti-Canadia around here, we just like real people doing cool stuff.

You seem to hate on me being a slightly southern Canadian enough though…..

Welcome to the board! I’m an import here to NC (originally from Northern Michigan). There is a great group of folks here and a wealth of knowledge.
