Do you see the blue line with User CP, Albums, FAQ? See the SEARCH on that line? It has a drop down search menu arrow, go to the "Advanced Search" option, top left side (search block), type in there what you are looking for and then go to the lower right column and highlight 73-79 forum. Select it and then you will have a detailed search just in the 73-79 forums.

I live in the country and try to take the gravel back roads as much as possible. lol I do have to get on some pavement every now and then. 6 miles to work and rarely see a vehicle that time of the am.

Ok, so I find out the 1976 F150 4x4 with 400 that I am looking at is bored to .060.
So I basically have a "turd sandwich without the bread" situation. 1976 has to be smogged here. 400 is a "smog dog". Bored .060 is a crap shoot.
I am definitely realizing why the price is so low.

Here's a cool little mod for our dentside trucks that I came across on another site. I'm thinking of adding to my truck. It's a factory accessory for the 88-92 (I think) GM truck. It's a dash mounted flip out cup holder that with minor modification will look like a clean factory install on our dentsides. Rich this might be right up your alley when scouring your local junkyards.

Bought me a '78 F100 2wd 351
It was painted with house paint, and has it's fair share of dents. There is more oil on the outside of the engine than in it. Tires are pretty bad. All in all I am ok with it.
