    my 1970 F100

    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

    my 1970 F100

    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.

    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.

    Hello

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

    my 1970 F100

    Well I guess it does look a little different. Most of the black primer has washed off. I did the axle pivot and radius arm bushings, and rebuilt the drum brakes. King pins were still tight. Still has the original 28 spline 3.25 traction lock and I need to do the leaf spring bushings. I also...

    my 1970 F100

    I almost forgot about this place till I saw the post on FBBO. Truck still looks the same, but I put a 460/C6 in it and changed the wheels. I'll try to get pics after work.

    Fopar's 72 F-250 project

    That's a nice bumpside. I wish my dash looked like that. The 460 should be just the ticket.

    my 1970 F100

    For now I'm just fixing all the little stuff. Mostly squeaks, rattles, and other weird noises. I've been driving it everyday for about two weeks now. The Windsor and 3 speed work pretty good with the 3.25's in the rear. My long term plan is to keep it mostly stock and get the body as cherry as I...

    Austin's 1978 F-150: Project Rosa

    That truck looks like it will get the job done. I'll bet it's fun off road.
