I may have posted this before but it's the latest photo I have of my rig.


I have a 1977 F250 and everything actually works. Well, minus the wiper squirter but I'll get that this weekend. I have no wiring issues, no tranny problems, heck, even my gas gauge works well thanks to Rich for the dash cluster. Nope, I don't need any help. I don't have any vague questions, and I just enjoyed the heck out of driving my truck around all weekend.


So far since I bought the truck I have done:
Quickfuel 750 Carb
429 C/J Non-EGR Intake
American Autowire 100A wiring harness
MSD 6AL Ignition controller
MSD HEI Distributor
MSD Coil
3G GM internal/ Ford Case Alternator
Lined the cab floor with truckbed liner
Soundproofed the cab with dyna mat
Fuel Pump
In-Dash mounted Tach
Updated dash cluster (Thanks Rich)
Matching triple gauges
Kenwood stereo
all new fuel line rear to front
rebuilt the brake booster
greased the shiznet out of the suspension
new high-flow air cleaner with replica 460 decals... Etc.


Next year my plans are:
D0VE heads
Cam
Headers w/ magnaflows
Rear Discs
Possibly re-gear the front and rear diffs to a more highway-friendly ratio
taller-wider tires and maybe wheels.


I don't see too many posts that are not asking for help, which is absolutely fine by the way. That is what we are here for. I just thought that we needed a thread that just said here's what I did with all of your guys' help. Thanks to all that answered my questions and helped me along.

 

Very nice. Did you upgrade to the 44 HD hubs?

 

Glad to hear you got it installed and all is working well. Starting saving some $ now, cause come "sell it all day", I am calling you first. lol

 

But I need to do the number decipher to see what front pumpkin I am running.

 

I KNOW that you have a few of those things on my list rat stashed for a rainy day! You let me know when I can come get them and I'll come running over with a half rack of beer to help with the negotiation.

 

I quit drinking a long time ago (way to many bad decisions made after drinking to much...) so just bring CASH and a gallon of Red Diamond tea and its a deal.

Good looking truck BTW.

 

Got it. Understood and respected about the Beers. I just need to fill up and come over there. You have any 460 headers that will fit a 77? Fender exit is acceptable.


Thanks for the compliment. Most people can't get over how straight the truck is. The PO took good care of it, he just should have never ever been allowed to do wiring!

 

As a matter of fact I have TWO sets of L&L fenderwell exit headers. One new, one barely used.

Are they for sale....sorry but not at the moment, because I have plans for both sets. But it they never get used they will be in the "sell it all pile" for sure.

So start your future truck parts mad cash stash envelope. And keep in touch, frequently.

 

And I thought I had a problem,,, thanks for making me feel better!

 

That is just one shed.....I have a Ford parts "big lot".....cabs, axles, more wheels, ect....front clip. Beds are in a different area..... lol

 

Nice Truck Bill!

Nice stash house Rich! I spy some nice wheels in there... are those for sale by any chance?

 

I smell a road trip coming on. How much red star tea does it take to get you loosten your grip on that gently used set of headers? And $ of course.


Side note, I should PM you but my friend has a 76 same setup as mine but wants to convert to the 78-79 steering. Is this something that you can supply him with? I will get you two in contact.

 

I appreciate the compliment. It's a great rig. I just need Rich to hook me up with headers and it will sound as good as it looks.

 

Real nice rig Just missing a Steelers front license plate

 

I do have the HD one on the truck and the Harley has a Stillers license frame. I'll have to post a pic of my office for you Red.
