My 69. I'm pulling a few key pieces off, like the grill, dash, gauges, etc- and "retiring" the rest. The cab supports are gone, the bed is gone, the fenders are beat, the frame is one of the weaker ones Ford put under a truck, the rear end whines, and it's a manual steering/manual drum brake truck. So, not much desirable left.
My choices are rebuild this with a full frame-off resto, or put together a replacment that will look the same yet better suit my needs.

I'd take a trip out to Port Orchard just to see that thing run!
Drag springs and fill the rear bumper with lead helps.

Oh, man! I was soooo hoping he was putting that thing together. I would've driven up to see it run!

Hell yea!!! I would have driven there in a heartbeat.

7.5L big block in a 2200 lb chassis....Imagine the donuts one could run in that combination!

I guess I will keep that in my wish list...
