ypu im glad.. hey im sending you a pm you will laugh!

 

hey guys just introducing myself on here, got a 77 F250 with a 351 modified in her. she was sitting for over a year when i got her just a little over a week ago. surprisingly a new battery and some gas was all it took to get her running. since then i have changed a few things and am doing headers and exhaust now. thinkin about pickin up a 4bbl and new intake for her but well see. In the next year or so i wanna swap out the inners to make her a 400M

 

sweet do you have pics of the truck??

nice looking truck man

 

thanks yea shes in decent shape. theres some rust above the rear fender on the other side i gotta take care of before i can get her painted but i have been mostly tryin to catch her up on maintenance. had cracked exhaust manifold then had to replace the spark plug wires so i just went ahead and did cap rotor plugs and all that to give her a tune up. got snow tires put on her and need to find some rims for the spring time when that rolls around

Hi guys/gals

I'm Josh(username Snowymountainman) and I'm located near Columbus, Montana (45 miles west of Billings). I joined this site a month or so ago and haven't posted much since I believe in reading what has already been written. I hate wasting peoples time answering questions that have already been answered for others. And it's worked well because because of this site I have been able to answer almost every question that has come up.

I have been a mopar guy for most of my life so don't hold it against me! Late last year I purchased a 1979 Bronco from a good friend of mine. It's a sport model that has all the options (Cruise, A/C, Bucket seats) and also has a great running 460 transplanted into it. It's an animal! Here's a picture of it:


And the project that brings me to the site is a 1978 F250, 3/4ton, 4x4. I picked it up for $800. It had a 400 in it that had a bunch of go-fast goodies on it (eddy 4bbl intake, eddy cam, Hooker headers, 0.030 pistons) but the oil pan was missing at least 3 and maybe 4 bolts. The entire underside was covered in oil. The PO must have ran it out of oil at one point. The #8 rod journal was GONE...by a 1/16"!! I have never seen one so bad! So needless to say, I'm rebuilding the engine right now and hoping the block cleans up at .040 over. Otherwise I'm looking for a good 400 block.




I've rambled long enough! I look forward to BSing with you guys.

 

Hi Snowy, welcome to the site and the MT Chapter! Make sure to swing into the monthly bs thread when you can and harass everyone. Again welcome to the site and I look forward to getting to know you!

 

sweet trucks snowy! welcome to the site!

 

Hi everybody, my name is Kyle(79CAMOFORD) I grew up in White Sulphur Springs and now live in Great Falls thanks to the AF. My 79 is a single cab short box powered by a 400 and a 38 gal. gas tank to feed it LOL. It also has a camo paint job(spray can) from the PO. Some day I will repaint it, I think. My 04 F-150 is a Screw with an edge programmer, CIA and I have taken off the FX4 stickers to give it a cleaner look. Thanks again and can't wait to BS with everyone.
