Holy crap... if I had $1100 laying around, I'd have a new truck... I actually do have $1100 laying around from my tax return... but I have to pay for school... Thats quite possibly my dream truck...

I'll definetly see if I can work something out... that truck is awesome...

 

Matts72, I hope that you're looking at the green truck in the classifieds and not my red truck (in my gallery) that I've worked so dillegently at making right! I wouldn't let my red one go for all the money in the world (well maybe....). I'm just starting to get everything to work the way I want it!

However, I think that for $1100 the green one is a screaming deal. I just don't have the room to store it and could use the cash. Look foward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks so much guys for all the info....I will definately keep you posted on how things are going and let you know what I decide. Welcome Sean! Sounds like some cool trucks!

Hi everyone,haven't posted in quite awhile as I've changed locations from Billings to Kalispell since June.Truck is running even better then it did since Billings, thanks matt for the edelbrock man and carb,truck made the trip flawlessly and my highway mileage is great for the old hog almost 14 mpg,but the in town sucks at 5 mpg.Might need some tuning on the carb. Just bought a get around town car so can park the 79 and start my rebuild.

Tim,sorry to say I haven't been following lately -been getting situated with housing and new job.but look forward to getting back into it.I love my truck and think it's great there is a forum for all of us to shoot the breeze.You've maybe seen my truck at work at the Kum and Go on 93 South,if not stop and say hi. Thanks for the welcome-John

 

Hey mtflat, how's Dick doing? I know he said he was signing off for awhile because his job had him down but I was curious to see how he's doing and if anybody has talked to him.

 

John, I'll watch for your truck. I live between Kalispell and Whitefish so I'm not in the neighborhood very often.

Hoss, I saw that msg from Dick, but I've been too busy the last couple of days to call him. I'll try to get hold of him tomorrow.

 

Good to hear you are doing well John... old ford trucks are bulletproof... my dad once drove 60 miles with a hole in the oil pan, tore the motor apart and replaced the bearings, and that was all it needed...

Today I got off my butt, and for the first time in three years I have locking doors, heat, and audio in the truck... pretty crazy, I know...

Edelbrock carbs can be tricky to tune at first, but after initial adjustment you shouldn't have to worry about it ever again... good luck with your new ventures...

 

Hey all i agree totally with you all when you say old fords are about bulletproof i have a 82 f150 that i drove til i got a new engine for it the rings were bad and so on and so forth but i couldnt kill that engine no matter what i tried when i put my new engine in i pulled off the oil pan and found bering fragments and such cant believe she still ran but im off just stopped by to add my name to the list of montana people on here

Sorry,I've been off the Ford Forum for awhile now.I actually did a real stupid thing and sold my truck in order to get my Subaru rebuilt,not so much stupid as the Subaru is a great car with 190000 miles and sure beat the hell out of 5 mpg withthe truck,but I'm pretty good friends with the mechanic who I traded with and can probably get my old truck back for what I traded in kind.Just did what I had to do at the time and hopefully can remedy it fairly cheap. i still peruse the topics but haven't joined in for awhile,will be doing better from now on. John

 

It's ok John and welcome to the Kalispell area. I'm only about a year late in saying that but better late than never. We all seem to be pretty busy, so we just take it a day at a time here...and in my case, we take it whenever I happen to get bored with about ten other forums that occupy my time when I'm not laying in bed reading.

 

Man, where the heck have I been. LOL

I sold my 72 and traded the 97 scab. Got the wife a 97 expy and myself an 03 F250
