49 F-155 cab on 91 D250 frame with Cummins and 3 speed auto with OD
This was my Dad’s truck that he farmed with. Hadn’t been moved for 52 plus years

Mods

The cab is on a 91 D250 frame with the Cummins and a 3 speed auto with OD. Built the deck for it myself. Everything is modded up. Moved the engine back on the frame 3.25 inches which allowed us to install an intercooler and electric fan.

Build story

Started out as a lawn ornament project but when we got the Cummins things changed and the money started leaving. Took 2 years to complete and I can’t be happier. Took my Dad for a ride on Father’s Day and let him drive it. He’s 91 years old. Asked him when he drove it last and it was 53 years. Can confirm by the license plate that was on it when it was parked, 1970. I was 10 at the time.
