tell us a bit about the motor ?

nice pickup im fond of the 2 wd shortbeds as well!

Well I have had it for about 15 years got it from my dad it came with a 300 6cyl. auto trans, power steerig, and a/c under dash from the factory, when I got the truck it had a 77 302,fmx trans out of a tbird built a 70 351cid 4v motor out of a 70 mustang that was totaled out it had around 525 hp c6 trans 3000 stall,410 gear got 5 miles a gallon but gas was cheaper then put around about,30000 on it before it droped a valve took the block ,one rod out sold everything and put 72 351w and fmx trans back in it and about 3 years ago rebuilt the the engine it has 70 model reworked heads stock except springs ,cam 292 512 lift, pistons stock 30 over for 69 4bbl engine,intake offy 360 duel plain,625 holley carb.Took the truck mostly apart reworked the insides had to do some floor board work where the rubber mat had a hole and caused some rust but the truck is mostly rust free alittle on the bottom rear corners of the doors only cut that out and weld some patches in now all the rust is fixed except some in the bed where the tool box was on it but got to get the line-x bed liner out 1st that will be a pain it will not stop rust that a story for another time.So right now I need seat reworked,under the hood,the inside of bed,and a set of wheels after i finish the ranger.

Very Cool...Love the Color....Its about the same shade of blue as my 70 F250, But mines a LB.. I bought mine back in 74, and has been with me ever since! I love that Ol Truck...Hence mines named Ol Blue...Originally Ford Harbor Blue...

It is #2510 Daytona Blue Metallic from here http://www.tcpglobal.com/restorationshop/ that is the color i painted my 460 I will see how it holds up on a engine the inside is gun metal gray, it was red with white top org. but when I got it it had been repainted with laytex house paint with a brush and was peeling worse than a old house you could be going down the road and it would blow off no joke I got some picks somewhere i will scan and post when I find them again you talk about a hillbilly looking truck

THat is a cool color

looks like I am going to have to repaint the dash it is turning loose you can see in the pics under the ash tray
