thanks. it looked horrible when i first got it, rusted bumpers, had little tires on it like 225/75 i think. had the 33's on those rims, cleaned them up and threw them on the truck with some bed liner on the bumpers and it changed the entire truck. the inside was gross it stunk rotted floor mat, just plain nasty. almost done with the inside tho

Looks pretty good!
It never ceases to amaze me the differences in how these trucks rust... that one looks like it has none or very little where mine is rusted out, but mine is great in the places you have rot... like my wheel arches are imaculate... and we both have to scrap the bed... Lol.

I guess if your engine is shot, then get whatever you want. I like the 300s, but I wouldn't suggest them if you want a V8. It's your truck, build it the way you want.
Oh, post up some more pics of your progress. Lets see the interior!

The 400 in my 79 F150 bangs around pretty good even with 35x15x15s. When you go to power steering get a saginaw pump from a 80's van. I found one at pick'n pull with the right bracket and pressure line. Had to fab a brace but the whole thing took a day including the trip to the yard and cost less than $100. Nice truck by the way!
