1988 F150, 300 with Pistol Grip 5-speed.

Postby Burner » Sun Apr 27, 2025 4:28 pm

Welcome back. Here is a project I have been working on since June. It's had darn near everything replaced. All trim, chrome, weatherstrip is new. New paint in very close to original color, except it's metallic. Interior is redone, new carpet and headliner, used seat from F250. New fake wood trim on dash, with real wood steering wheel that I stained to match. And of course, a Hurst Pistol Grip 5 Speed, mounted using a seatbelt bracket to angle the shifter forward so not to hit the seat in 2nd, 4th, and R. I even found a discontinued piece to show the right gear pattern on top, instead of the Mopar pattern. I finished all that in December. I just started redoing the engine bay, and hope to have it done in another week.

I've done more since then. New exhaust and the toolbox is completely covered in stickers now.

Thanks guys :) here's a bit of progress. This was originally supposed to be a 2 week project. We know how those go. 2 weeks turns into... 6. I'm replacing the coil springs and brakes ATM, then I can put my fender liners back in, along with the (rebuilt) wire harness and air filter/overflow/random things. Then clean it again. Then it'll be done 😁
