Just an update on yesterday's post concerning the 1978 black lariat f250. As I mentioned last night, we would be setting the cab on the frame today.
Exactly what we did this afternoon. Cab is on frame and all bolted down. Lines up beautifully.
Now, the fun begins to get it all assembled and getting it street worthy. So please stay tuned as we move forward.

Well its July 20, 2026 and seems like its time to give you another update on 1978 lariat F250. We got the frame all reassembled and now today is the day to join it back with the box . Tomorrow we get the cab back from the paint shop and will drop it on the frame then. It should go together smoothly. We have pretty much all the new pieces ready to go on. Follow us for progress. Enjoy the pictures and stay tuned !

Its June 27th and I wanted to post an update on the 78 f250 lariat restoration. We tore this truck apart the end of April and have been hitting it hard since. As you can see by the pictures, the frame is going together nicely. Drive train is planted, all brake and gas lines are run. We are waiting for the mid ship tank enclosure to get here so we can mount that to the frame. The box and the cab will be back from the body shop in a couple weeks. I will update again when the box and cab are planted . Enjoy the pictures.

Its April 19th and I wanted to show everyone what's on the schedule here at Mikes Classic Cars Elkhorn Ne. We have a rust free Idaho F250 Lariat that's coming apart to get an on frame restoration. It only has 77k miles on it so it will make a great driver for someone without the high cost of a frame off restoration. Runs and drives like new but will get all the cosmetics redone. It is a true black/ black lariat which is kinda rare according to the Marti report. Check out the pictures, cause when you see it next it WILL look much better. Stay tuned for more updates!
