See my brother said the same thing, but make it 4x4. I don't really have any uses for a flat bed truck, let alone a 2x4 flat bed. Lord knows I have enough 2x4 vehicles. (sorry Beags, took that one from you). I guess if I come across a really good deal on either a flat bed or a rust free bed, that will decide what direction I go I suppose.
The bed does need replaced. The bed supports underneath are in really bad shape, to the point it won't support much. But as for now, once it is running, it's getting used as is regardless. So I guess we'll see how it holds up.
I don't get why he would go through the expense and time to convert to 4x4.
My lowered 2000 is so awesome for hauling stuff. Being as low as it is, is super nice for heavy lifting. But as you stated, it bottoms out quick and can't haul a lot. My crew cab is great for hauling large stuff, but it is a little taller than stock now, so it makes loading it a little tougher if I am loading by hand.
I want to use this truck as a truck, and go for a mild restoration while keeping it useable. In the end, I want this to be a decent truck that I can hand down to one of my boys. The 4x4 swap would happen much later, like with their help and/or if they decide they need the 4x4. Time will tell, but it will be 2wd for some time.
So it's a 4 lug on 5 stud wheel pattern?The stud is there, he just lost a nut!
Not sure if that is an omen or something..
The motorcrap was leaky....
The motorcraft is long gone. The videos are of the q-jet. Didn't do a single thing to the q-jet other than spray it down with carb cleaner and bolt it up. Purrs like a kitten, and fires off on the first crank. That motorcraft wouldn't even keep the truck idling.
