Figured I would share my truck with everyone.

'84 F150.

Here's what it looked like over 2 years ago.




Shortly after me and my dad restored it and rebuilt the motor





It has a 351 Windsor.
.030" overbore, mild cam, 1.7 roller rockers, gear drive, Holley 4 barrel intake, Edelbrock 4 barrel carb (had an old junky 750 Holley on it but it needed replacing) and a multispark ignition set up with MSD distributor and MSD coil. It runs about as good as an iron headed Windsor motor can. It's backed by a C6 with the diesel C6 clutch packs in it so it has more clutches and steels. Has a little street/strip shift kit and also a mild stall converter, nothing too over the top since the engine isn't too impressing. It gets around pretty good. It was definitely a good father-son project.

Nice looking truck, and very impressive engine you have there, '86 F150.

But I have to ask...if you went through the trouble of "restoring" it, why did you use the wrong bed?

Funny story, actually. My bed was rotted out and I found a '95 truck with a nice bed, just had been hit in the front. I put the bed on and didn't think anything of it. It took me a year and a half to notice the fender wells were different
