Jexes, I beg to differ, that mustard pack scream's the 70's or at the latest 85! I wouldn't eat it though! I am tearing my 75 apart today and found a match book between the drivers a-piller and dash. I will photo it tomorrow just because of the mustard pack!
Thanks!

Nice truck Jexes, I will be watching for more pics. I must admit, I am one of the guys that failed in the pic department on my build. Trying to make up for it lately but way behind... My excuse is the 3 rugrats

I had the 351c heads on my 1978 400, they really woke it up (also bored 60 over). It was a great motor!

From: THIS IS SPARTA!, ...Mo.

This build looks interesting. I didn't get as involved as you're going to, but I did build the truck I wanted. A 300 six, 4 speed, 4x4 with an 8' box is kinda hard to find. ...around here at least. The only options it has are the one's I wanted. (which ain't much) I have a stereo and power steering. ...THAT'S IT! Manual disc brakes, no A/C, no tilt, no cruise. ...if it doesn't have it, it won't break.

Looks good (even if the motor pic is in a 'stang!). I hopefully will get off work early tomorrow and go hit the yards for some more parts. I don't have a plan, just get what looks good!
