Starliner Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hello All I was lucky enough to find a 1984 F250 HD 2WD from San Diego with 67k miles on her. Being in Boston, I seldom see older trucks that still have all of their sheet metal intact. 351 engine. I already rebuilt the 2150 2bbl and cleaned out the front tank. It's nice to work on a truck that doesn't have rust training down into my eyes for once. Anyway, she drives very tight and solid, maybe because it is an HD which has the beefed up suspension and sway bars. The hubcaps are original and I have been cleaning them up for paint. Soon I will figure out a signature for future postings. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Welcome! Glad you joined. Nice truck! Boy, that hubcap sure cleaned up nicely. And having a non-rusted truck is a huge plus. We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and with your permission we can add you. As for the signature, look in Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's for how to do that.

I think my signature will show up now. Sure, on the map I am in Framingham, MA, 01701. I saw a pic of a Blue Flareside on the site, maybe on the test page. That would be my dream truck, a 4X4 with a 300 or a 302. Great looking truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramttocs Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Welcome! Really like that paint scheme and pattern. That have the fawn interior? A really, really light tan. Gary is right - that hubcap turned out incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary is right - that hubcap turned out incredible. Thanks very much. I wouldnt want to tell you how much time the hubcaps took but I did wet sand from 220 - 3000, then used a machine. I still need to paint the pattern on. Here is a picture of the seat. It sits like brand new. Because it came from San Diego I will need a dash pad, headliner fabric, and paint for the door panels. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
