1967 F-250 4x4 Converted Camper Special Highboy "Bluebird"
Years ago we picked up this ridiculously clean '67 F-250. (F25). It had less than 22,000 actual authentic miles, and came out of Great Falls Montana.
We wanted to maintain and preserve the authenticity of this low-mileage survivor, but still convert it into 4x4, and add some daily-driver amenities.
After our sale of "Penny" for @_prddesign we were contact by a gentleman who wanted a similar build. We took inspiration from "Penny" to build "Bluebird", with some case-specific ideology and build ascetic.
"Bluebird" uses it's original low mileage drive-train and chassis (352, NP435, Dana 60 w/4.10) along with the addition of a rebuilt Dana 44 6CF, Dana 24 transfer case, @holleyperformance 2300 Sniper EFI, @steermancycle9015 EPS Power Steering and @DakotaDigitalTV Gauges.
We custom modified the original frame to include all Highboy specific cross-members, cab mounts, engine stands, etc., and had it powder coated
"Bluebird" wears it's original Harbor Blue and White paint, and has also been fully preserved throughout. The under-body was epoxied and resprayed in PPG single stage matches to Red Oxide. The mostly original interior compliments the amazing condition of the truck overall. Rebuilt memory foam seat is hidden under the OEM seat material.
We built to spec a custom front suspension to perfect the stance and ride quality. These springs left/right specific to adjust for the offset of an FE and also allow for a soft ride while maintaining OEM appearance.
Exhaust flows through dual @borla
XS mufflers, exiting at 2.5".

Over the course of the build, a high level of critical thinking went into the preservation of the originality, while still adding form and function.
Enjoy!
