Where do you live? In Langley there are old cars everywhere.

 

I live in Vernon there's still old cars around but don't see to many fixing up 60s Ford pickups atleast not like south of the border

 

In Washington there are a ton of late '67-79 Ford trucks on the road. It's hard to not find one.

Google up the Langley Good Times Cruise In. It's an annual car show we hold, which is huge, but every Friday there are classic car meets all over town. People here love their old cars.

 

Yeah defiantly jealous of the amount of good solid trucks in Washington I actually bought mine in skagit.
Never been to the Good times show will have to go check it out. I do try to make it to the coastal swap had some good luck there.

 

My truck is from Puyallup.

 

Bad *** build, I'm subscribed, I want to find a 300 so I can rebuild it while I'm still driving the truck

 

Painted the cylinder head.

Beautiful.

 

That seems a shade brighter then mine, and I love it!

Could you measure the freeze plug for me? I just remembered I needed to do that and the trucks not here with my right now. If I don't post this I'll forget aha

 

Two inches.

 

Dean Trozei, that is beautiful. Well done!

 

Machine work is done. Bottom end is built. Awaiting paint to show up. Had to special order the colour.

Chucked the valve cover on the mill. Faced off some of the fins. Found out the hard way that the casting is not as thick in the center so I'm going to have a patch tigged in.

Why did you face off the fins?

 

Trozei are you going to install an old hood emblem on your valve cover? Like maybe a 1956 F100?

 

A 1955 F100 hood badge is going on there.
