Well here she is my project which will be slow going for now. I bought her a few days ago for $1000, since then I have about $1400 in it for numerous repairs that have been made to get her road ready. I have put in a new battery w/new cables, alternator, solenoid, voltage regulator, removed cleaned and replaced the fuel tank, added 2 inline filters due to tank, rebuilt carb., bled the brake system, oil change(doing another tomorrow), and air filter. Putting a new antenna in tomorrow for the old 8 track radio that still works good and maybe replacing the speakers. Oh yeah and I washed off a couple of years worth of slime today.
Plus I already filled the bed with a bunch of scrap metal from my friends yard which is gonna buy me the oil change and the mystery oil.

Thanks for looking










Marty

 

Nice looking rig. Love the color too, makes me wish I still had my red truck that's in my Avatar.

 

Here's my other Ford that you can see in the background of one of the other pics...

 

Thank you! They looked a lot alike. What's your new toy pushing with?

 

Looks like you have the 4.9 I6 in there; same engine as mine if I'm not mistaken. That is a real clean looking ride; didn't see any body cancer at all. I do love my flareside, but sometimes I wish she was a 4X4 (for the few snow days we get here).

 

TY! Yep it's the 4.9. A great motor we have. She has a bit of cancer on the cab corners floor boards and on the outer rear corners of the bed.

 

Great looking truck MartyRay! I especially love that style of tailgate with painted on F-O-R-D spread out across it. I like your idea with the see-through fuel filters, I might put one in the same spot on my 4.9L and see what shows up in it.

 

Thanks, I wish it looked half as clean as yours does. Nice truck! Looks like you put a lot of work into keeping it that way. The filter is peace of mind and only $3.99 so its worth it if you ask me. Where are you at in NC im in winston

 

2 filters in a row, that's a new one... However, I have a single filter in the same location, along with the factory style that goes into the carb.

 

Lol yeah i did that because I wanted to make sure there was nothing getting into the carb. and I have changed the rear one and move the front one back and replace that with the new one. I plan on taking one off when the rear one is free of the rust flakes. I am thinking that it is about there.

 

That's a nice little truck! Love it, I'd love a 6cyl 4x4 short base truck like that!

 

I'm down the road in Charlotte, not too far.

 

Thanks make me an offer! J/K she's mine till the wheels fall off now!

 

Not far at all...nice to meet a neighbor on here.
