I have a 1977 F150 Custom 4x4 with the 351m and C6. I've had the truck for about 4 years now but I'm just getting started on restoring it. My dad bought it for me when I was 17 and now my fiancé wants it to be our getaway ride at our wedding.

I just bought a 429 and a 460 for dirt cheap so I'll probably swap the 351. Also, if anyone has pictures of a dentside with a black cherry paint could you post it? Being my first restoration I'll have many questions to ask so I hope I don't get on anyone's nerves. Any tips on the 460 swap or the restoration in general will be appreciated! I have pictures on my page.

Thanks!

 

glad to see your rebuilding the old girl. If this link works theres tons of pic's for color ideas.

Have ya ever noticed "fiancé" is really close in spelling to "financier"?

Finish your rig BEFORE the big day because for whatever reason, a $30 part right now may be considered a $300 part thereafter.

 

Thanks for the link, Bud! I want it to be different than a factory or basic paint job. Not sure if black cherry is the route to go. What I have envisioned is the BC paint and everything else black. Every bit of chrome will be painted black or the BC.

And thanks for the advice, HIO. Lol I already got a little taste of that the other day when I bought those two engines.

 

You know a good restoration can take like, years.........

 

Yes sir, I picked up on that notion. I have about a year and 3 months to complete it. Should be plenty of time. Thanks for the picture!
