Just got the 460 dropped back in the F250 after some freshening up. I also swapped the '79 grille out for a '77, just for personal preference. Still have some bugs to work out, but she runs pretty good. Will spin the tires from a 10mph roll in 1st, chirps 2nd if you get on it from any speed. Fun for now. On to the pics...

I ended up scoring a brand new unused front bumper for cheap from a guy at a swap meet who was cleaning out his garage. It's a Taiwan bumper, but it was cheap, so it will work for now.









The motor looked so good after I dropped it in the truck that I had to clean and paint the engine compartment as well. Glad I did, I think it turned out pretty good.





Interior pics:





That's all for now.

 

WOW.... That looks great. Nice job

 

Time to repaint! Looks awesome!

 

I agree w the repaint but i also like the sleeper look. You need some stock dog dish hub caps

 

niceeeee ......i wish mine looked that good under the hood

 

I have some dog dish caps, but I only have 3 of them, so I never put them on. Paint is original, but I plan to repaint in a year or two, but it will be repainted in the original colors. I didn't like the colors when I first bought it, but they have really grown on me. The green is very unique, and gets a lot of looks.

 

I love the colour scheme. re-paint it if you want but I'd agree about keeping the colors the same.
Nice looking 460 too.

 

I Can't believe how clean that thing is...

 

Is that a bumper on the rear or a valance (or both)? Whatever it is, it sure cleans up the body lines on the back end. Looks nice...

 

wow are u from pa cuz that looks liek a pa plate thats where im from.....that interior is in excellant shape....did u replace the dash cuz every old truck i looked at to buy they all had cracked dashes but that truck looks great interior and exterior especally if thats the original paint its in great shape and nice 460 dude looks real good and clean

 

Yeah, I believe Eric is over in Sarver Pa. There are plenty of us Pa guys on here if you watch. We love our dents in Pa that is for sure.

 

Yeah,that's for sure,just in this thread alone there are 4 people from PA.

 

Yes, from Sarver like Harold mentioned. And yes, the dentsides are very popular around here, just go to any local truck pull... The interior is all original, seat, dashpad, door panels, floormat. The only thing I did was remove the fake woodgrain panel from the glovebox door and replace it with a chrome Ranger emblem from a '76, and replaced the steering wheel with a leather-wrapped wheel from a Maverick (I think). The rear has a welded-in roll pan from Mar-K, there is also a class III reciever hitch hidden behind the license plate and hidden LED lighting for the plate.

 

That thing gets better looking every time I see it.

 

I think it looks cool with out any caps
