New guy

I registered here back in 2008, then for some reason never posted anything. Anyway, bought a 1968 F250 back in March of 2008, and since the paint is Pebble Beige decided to name the truck "Pebbles".









Truck has a 240 and a T18 in it, but the engine is getting pretty tired, it rattles and knocks these days. Planning on putting a 1992 Thunderbird HO 302 in it with an AOD, have a lot of parts sitting in storage already, just need the time, money, and space to make it happen.

Did you pull the engine when you painted it or did some masking?

I pulled the engine. I had to do the clutch and a few other things so I figured I might as well pull the engine and paint it as well.
