1979 F350 4x4 SC ****JUSTIFIED
I thought since I finally have some time I would do a resto thread of my 79 F350 4x4 SC camper special. I started tearing down the truck back in March and was planning to do a few upgrades to the engine, headers, MSD, edelbrock intake and carb. Then re-paint it and start enjoying her but, once I started the project I went a little further than I planned---yeah OCD I guess. Well, trying to get her JUSTIFIED!!
Here is what it looked like when I bought it. Purchased the truck from a guy out in northern Arizona with 81k original miles. Original paint and in great condition overall but a few minor dents and scratches here and there.

I stole this idea (as I did many from another FTE, thanks HIO Silver), I paint an old intake I had. Used VHT high temp coating "Ford agent silver". I put 3 coats of VHT on and then 3 coats of high temp clear. I think I turned out great!!
I liked it so well and the coating seems pretty strong I thought I would use it on my scuff plates too.

Glad to see you have been keeping busy. The ole 350 is looking pretty sharp. I know what you mean when life gets in the way. I haven't been doing much on mine lately for a lot of the same reasons. That will change after the new year though. You scored on that 350, she is clean. I've been looking for awhile for one but they are far and few between. Probably should finish the one I have first.
