King pins almost done.

Changed the leaf spring bushings and axle bearings. Flex-O-Matic was a pain.. worth it. Much better now. Getting ready for king pins.

Not here. 460 6 days a week.

I have the best truck ever

Made a couple upgrades.

Another minor update. Got rid of the Pertronix setup and put in a MSD stand alone distributor. Works great. Also changed out the Performer and 750 for a RPM and a 800 dp. Runs great

Minor update. I put a Pertronix Ignitor kit in it Last week. Drove it to work all week. The difference is amazing. Cold starts are way better and it just purrs on the freeway.

I still have a mopar. I picked up this 49' 4 door for a song and and a dance. Im just going to get it running and drive it.

Its a .030 over 73' Low compression 460. Measured out at 8.3:1. D3 heads I spent some time with a die grinder and back cut the valves. I have about $1500 in the whole motor. Trans is a used C6 from a van with a Transgo stage 2 kit. Works great.

750DP and a Performer. Chokes not hooked up but it dont need it. The cam is a Comp with 211/223 @ .050 and 484/510 on a 110. Big dump truck mufflers and a 2 1/2" driveway exhaust system. Typical 460. 80 pounds oil pressure cold at idle and about 15 warmed up.

Cheap headers

Thanks for the offer but I'm staying with the manual steering.

No power steering, one belt. CVF pulleys, HD Ford fan clutch, Chrysler fan. Stock Ford radiator and shroud. Works great.

That should make a great tow rig. I dont see many of those with the extended cab.
