That's a nice truck. It looks like a lot of fun. Is yours 351W the one with a 2bbl or 4bbl?

For a second, thought it was a "Boss Hoss"
Still a great find.
Looks like a shortbed?

Not bad for a first truck.
What are your plans that you want to do to it?

You'll get more respect here using better grammar:

id
im
ill
etc.

That kind of thing doesn't go over real well to some (many) folks here, I suggest not doing that.

Nice truck! That is the F150 version of my bronco, same color, same interior, and similar wheels! How much lift do you have?

I don't really have any plans for it at the moment. I like how it is and there isn't anything that i feel like that needs to be changed. The clutch did go out so im getting that fixed soon. But other than that i have no complaints and its a solid truck for the price i got it for.

Looks like a pretty clean rig. To decipher a 2bbl to a 4bbl, take off the air cleaner, and if the carburetor has 2 venturi holes in it, it's a 2bbl, if it has 4, it's a 4bbl.

My web site has pictures of the 4bbl that came on those trucks: Holley 4180C - Gary's Garagemahal

And here's a pic from eBay of a Motorcraft 2150 that might have come on it:

Congrats on the great looking truck. Great that it has a stick, that's how a truck should be!
