Looks good! Looks like it should be painted.

What's your ETC (estimated time of completion)

I need to replace the timing cover. It’s a car engine, so I need to put a truck timing cover on. I might paint it ivory like my ‘54. I’m probably still a year away from finish.

So both your trucks have car engines?

And I like that color red!

Abe asked recently if I had gotten anything done on the F350. I started again a couple weeks ago. I had orders to get the seat out of the family room.

I need to replace the car timing cover with the truck timing cover. The donor timing cover came from a spare truck engine.

Some pictures I’ve taken it’s the IPad, some with the camera.

Hey Dennis--It's looking good! I thought your F350 was going to be light blue like your other truck. The picture you just posted looks light green to me. Maybe I'm getting color blind in my old age.

Jim, it’s blue with a layer of dust. The IPad pictures in lower light don’t get as nice as camera pictures. Dennis

Have you decided to go with a flatbed or an Express bed yet?

I’m leaning more toward a flatbed. There’s a perhaps ‘62 F350 up near Allentown, but the guy didn’t think the bed was 9’. I’ll call in another week to see if he got up to measure.

That sounds good. I think a flatbed is easier to do then the express bed.

Some more pictures. I’ll need some help lining it up, but at least it’s in the engine bay. Dennis

I got it in today, I forgot I had bolts with the heads cut off to help me line it up.
