Column shift 4.9l six 3 speed that was converted to a hurst floor shifter. Guy I bought it from said it was overheating. Water pump was wobbling..replaced, flushed rad, new tstat, carb was lose..timing was ok but the idle speed was a bit high causing it to diesel on.

Running like a champ now..BEST THING ONLY PAID $500.00 ; )

Was at a local show today, some great old F series there, no bullnoses on display but I thought you may like to see the old girls. Also for the oiler fans, check out the specs on the Cummins converted mash-up.

Just noticed in the background of this shot, a bullnose Bronco must have pulled up for a coffee at the bakery!

My '86 F-150 as of last Saturday:



The exterior hasn't changed much in the five years I've owned it, but the inside is undergoing a transformation.

CLT, nice truck! Once the inside is done, shoot us some more pics?

What size tires do you have on it now in that pic if I may ask

When (if) it gets done I'll be happy to post pictures.

The tires are 31x10.50s.
