Custom 1964 Ford F250 body on a 1974 Ford F350 Chassis w/ EFI 429 & ZF 5-speed

This unique custom truck project is a 1964 Ford F250 cab and bed installed on 1974 Ford F350 2 wheel drive frame. a 429 with MSD Atomic EFI TBI and ZF manual 5-speed. It's registered as a 1964, so doesn't need to be smogged. The registration is up to date and the pink slip is in hand. The truck runs and drives well. It will have to be trailered as the fuel cell needs to be installed permanently as well as the taillights installed and wired. No expense has been spared on this complete frame off custom restoration project. It's been a long term project that needs to go to make room for a new upcoming hotrod project.
