Looks awesome. Was the original paint really bad? It actually looked not that bad on this? Beautiful job.were those new inside door panels or did you freshened the older ones?
I spent around $5500 after the recent engine work. The only money I spent on labor was having the seat recovered, the rest of the labor was me and a friend. Also, had free use of a fully equipped shop with lift and paint booth. I could have spent another two grand easy if I didn’t have some free resources.

That's one sweet truck we've got an 83 up also that the body's all original suspension everything motor is originally rebuilt but I'm getting ready to put gt40p heads on it I've already got a summit camshaft in it headers and dual exhaust with the Cherry Bomb Vortex mufflers also Edelbrock intake and Summit 650 on it but getting ready to do some more work on it
Hi , is that new wheel arch trim ? Nice job cool truck . I have a rust free 86 F150 supercab ,Tremec manual that i will paint two tone soon , its getting a 385 CI all forged stroker which i just have to assemble . Cheers .
Those two badges are two of the very few things on this truck which is not original. I bought them from LMC Truck online. I believe I went with the 92-94 f150 era on those.
That is going to vary big time. I had a friend with a shop at his house. This shop also had a paint booth built into the end. The only part of the restore I didn’t do myself was having the seat reupholstered and ceramic tint on the windows. My cost was $4600
Starting restoration on my 83, Did you get all new interior trim and all that? If so Where did you find it. I can’t find a few of these pieces to save my life
I was fortunate that my truck had 90% of the original trim, inside and out. The few pieces I needed I found in junk yards in GA and NC. I would call, send a pic to a cellphone showing exactly what I needed if they agreed then wait for a callback. I contacted about 30 yards total and had received callbacks with the trim I needed within 30 days. That original trim makes these series F150's quite a bit more valuable. Don't give up. Thanks for watching the vid
@@maxgrey3741 so mine is full and has every piece but stuff like the B Pillar trim is dry rotted and whatnot, and needs replaced and I’ve been told by the bullnose Ford groups I’m in on Facebook that no one makes that trim. They make everything else but not that piece so junkyards and part outs are the only way I can find them. Gonna be sad that I’ll have brand new door panels A pillars a dash and all that and some junkyard B pillar plastics 😂😂😂
No lie, Im from GA I got an 85 f150. Interested in restoring mine? This one looks great. I got cash my man if you’re interested in making soMe extra cash. 😅
Can you say what size your Wheels are ?? I love the chrome for sure... I just bought a 1988 and having trouble with the wheels. Are the 15x10 and do you know the offset depth or whatever
I think I'm done buying new trucks. They're waaay toooo complicated. Question, can you still get parts for these older trucks ? Could you make money restoring these and selling them ? I'm in love with what you are doing. Beautiful.
You have to search around for parts but there are still a few good online shops with them. Some came from a salvage yard. I've been offered 11k above what I have in it but I did 90% of the work myself.
Awesome resto, Max. Truck is gorgeous! Curious, did you do all the paint and body work yourself? I've got an 86. Allow me to extend an invitation to the Bullnose Enthusiast Forum.
I have been driving my 83' for about 10 years. I want to get it restored, with some modest improvements. What did this cost ya? Rough estimate? I know it's cheaper if ya do the work yourself... so, having done the work yourself, how much did ya put into it?
I put $4300 into it. I think you have to consider the condition of the suspension, engine and trans when trying to calculating total restoration cost. The C-6 in this truck was in better than excellent condition, the 351 was in great shape (I put the new carb, intake and cams in for more performance) and the suspension was decent. If I had to do more with in either of those three areas the cost could have gone up significantly.
Well done! This generation ford truck deserves to be cherished.

Summit racing
Out of curiosity how much did it cost to do this restoration? I have an 84 and i love what you did to yours 😍

@maxgrey3741 definitely good to know. Thank you for the information and again, beautiful truck 🙌🏾
nice truck. i just picked up an ‘83 XLT long bed that is in shockingly good shape.
Have fun with it.
Might be the best truck I’ve ever seen in my life. 🫡
Thank you. Much appreciated
How many mpg you get lol
11-13 😊
Do you have an instagram or somewhere else you post your truck
Good job, very nice bullnose!
Appreciate that. Thx

Gotta love Summit. We bought a few similar items. They have a lot of my money.
Well done! Thanks for sharing
Es una chulada no la benden cuanto piden por ella es una joya muy baliosa 👍
Beutiful truck! Did you do any kind of suspension lift? I got an 86 and I’m going for this exact look
100% stock
Top...very very nice Job 👍
Thank you
Where did you buy the rear bumper with padding?
LMC Truck
Lmctruck.com
Great Job,Love it! I'm restoring my 1984 just finished the paint job. Can't find the original rear bumper like yours. Where did you find one?
LMCtruck.com
What kind and size are them rims and tires?
Tires are Mudstar 32x11.5 R15. Rim are American Racing, style is called wagon wheel
@@maxgrey3741 awesomeness!!!! I appreciate it man!
Did you use spacers to move the wheels out a bit?
No spacers. Everything is stock regarding the offset.
@@maxgrey3741 then the rims must move the tires out a bit. Stock tires aren't even flush with the outside of the truck.
Best looking Ford body style
Agreed
Wow what wheels and tires are those!?
American Racing rims and Mudclaw tires 32 x 11.5
Sharp as a tack!

No, all trim is original. Spent hours on the buffer... Good luck with your assembly. Sounds like a clean truck.
Absolutely love that truck!
Thanks
Turned out beautiful, great taste man, thanks for choosing the correct wheels for it! 👍🏼
Thanks
What the specifics of the wheels?
looking for those 4x4 badges. do you know if they are period correct? i can't find any for my 85
Those two badges are two of the very few things on this truck which is not original. I bought them from LMC Truck online. I believe I went with the 92-94 f150 era on those.
Is there any chance you could let me know how much this restoration cost? I'm looking to do something similar

Jesus died for for you so live for him
Very nice job.
Thank you
i have an exact one '81 what size tires you put??
32 x 11.5
Beautiful truck Can you please say what style rims and tires you put? Thanks
The rims are American Racing 15x10, tires are the older style Mudclaw's 32 x 11.5
No lie, Im from GA I got an 85 f150. Interested in restoring mine? This one looks great. I got cash my man if you’re interested in making soMe extra cash. 😅
I've moved, no longer in GA.
What’s ur exhaust system?
I have JBA Headers into Magnaflow. The exhaust system is probably where we made the most modifications on this truck.
Buenas amigo en esa for hay 350 doble cabina

The wheels are American Racing 15X10 and I believe the offset is -38. Don't quote me on the offset.
Looks great!! I’m in the process of restoring an ‘86. It’s so much work. But videos like this keep me working.
Thanks. Good luck.
Got some pictures @neuro? I'm doing an 86 as well.
Very nice
Thank you
Very nice!
Thx
How long did this take you
9 months. Get parts during the week then work on the truck weekends only.
I think I'm done buying new trucks. They're waaay toooo complicated. Question, can you still get parts for these older trucks ? Could you make money restoring these and selling them ? I'm in love with what you are doing. Beautiful.

I did all of the paint and body work myself. Thanks for the invite.
Any know of a video showing how to replace a wiring harness? I got an ‘82 Bronco.
Check out "Dennis-Carpenter", he has the best wiring videos I've seen.
302 or 351 best in the 80s model Ford f150
The rumble that only a Ford can make! Sounds so SWEET!
Hey man nice truck, just wanted to ask you where did u get the seat ?
The seat is original. I just had it recovered but they have some at Raybuck auto.
Max Grey ok thankyou !
Nice job!
