Sweet - let me know how much we wants for it.

It might be awhile lol.

Looks cool Mike.

I have a 1964 F100. Some day I will get to do some work on it. I want to street truck it. ANd I would like it to lay frame. Seriously.

Guess i missed your post -

No worries, I would like to get that trim someday tho

I am also looking for a passengers side door panel with the XLT wood trimming and a black or gray bench seat from up to a 1996 F series - it will fit in a 73-79 F series. If anyone has a source please let me know - thanks!

Hey Mike I know some huge Ford people here, I'll ask them about the door and the seat, I don't know what they have but I'll ask them for you.

Well the ol Ford FE390 is going to get rebuilt. I have worn rod bearings in #3, and the rest aren't very good, so while I have it torn down I might as well get the crank ground and polished, the rods resized and the block tanked. All new main, rod and cam bearings too. Heads may get a rebuild as well or at least get inspected and cleaned.

Added mods and a couple pics.

Nice collection Mike. Your 2.0 Jetta is very impressive. Good looking car for sure. I dig the pickup too. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man!

Update on the F250:

Thanks to Josh (Darkside) and Josh (dynojetta), respectively) for the helping hand on the cherry picker and a killer deal on the Eddy intake!!!

Last night I got a little time to work on it, so I was able to get the Holley 4bbl carb installed, (re)set the timing to TDC and dropped the dizzy and it fired right up! I got the timing set about 15 over TDC and I think it's good to go. I need to replace the thermo gasket and refill the coolant and I *think* it will be road worthy after a thorough brake check and adjustment.

Josh (dynojetta lol), would you happen to have a set of front 3/4 ton HD leaf springs laying around, or know where I can get a set? I don't think I should pay for re-arching the sagging drivers side, because I don't think it would hold up.

I'll take a look at what I've got lying around and get back to you.
