New to the site, I have a 71 F100 long bed that was brought over here from Las Vegas so it has no rust. The original 390 was pulled by the previous owner and replaced with a 351W and FMX out of a 76 Gran Torino. I plan on replacing the rear end with an explorer with rear discs, crown vic front end, and 429 or 460 big block. Even though it will loose it's rear bumper in favor of a roll pan, it will be my tow vehicle.

 

sounds like a good truck, welcome aboard

 

Welcome to the forum 71Nky,


Good luck with your project.

 

Finally got the 44 year old bed bolts out and the bed is free. I now need to build me a cradle to put the bed onto so I can roll it around the garage to work on it.
