At the rear there is a custom rolled pa, and a smoothed tailgate. The bed is covered by a custom hard bed cover lid by Gaylord of LA.
After Dave Williams completed all of the custom work, he applied all of the paint, stripes and clear coats, sanded, cut and buffed. The finished product was superb!!! There are very few F250’s that are of this level of finish, are great drivers and a super tow rig. Thanks for looking, and god bless .Iinherited this pickup from my dad, who bought it new, a true “One family truck”.I used this truck as my work truck for 35 years, and on weekends and getaways it carried a camper. In 2003, I started a complete frame up restoration, First with a lot of custom body work, and then the engine and chassis and finishing with the interior. This took over five years of time and a lot ($40K+)of funds. I finally had to tell myself “ I had better stop now”, and claimed the project finished. Here is a summary of what was accomplished in the”Restifi-modification” of a Super F250 Ford:
