Turning a Work Truck into a...

[Mikey340]

"RV" LMAO

As some of you know when I went to visit my family in Louisiana around the 4th of July, My dad found this truck for me, but the owner was away on vacation and wouldn't be back until after I left!
Well Dad got the truck and I planned to drive it up in Dec. when I go back again after Christmas.
But mom and dad decided to visit for Thanksgiving and drove the truck 1,000 miles coming here lol.

1997 Ford F150 XL 4.6L Auto 61K miles.
No cruise, no tilt, no power windows,locks or mirrors .(Soon to be changed though)

Here's how it looked the day I got it minus the rims/tires/seat in the bed lol

I added rims/tires/cap/seats/running boards/sliding rear window/bumper etc.

Monte is now forsale for real

Nice, do you plan to "camp" in it? Also wondering why a truck from Louisiana has rust?

Yep. And it was a farm truck hauling chemicals around may have smthg to do with the rust.:-(

that rust is in a weird-ass spot....

usually there's alot of rocks chipping it, dirt/clay shoved in there by the tires and it rots from the backside out. ive seen more than a few of those bumpers rusted out like that...sea salt mist can be just as bad as snow melt salt

not the bumper, the lower quarters of the bed, especially with so few miles. the 97+ Body style I thought had more or less resolved those issues.
