My Long & Slow Build Thread
I have a 1978 F-150 SWB 4x4 351m C6 factory A/C that I have had for over a year sitting and waiting patiently for me to spend money on. I finally got some stuff ordered and hope that I will get to install it all soon and hope it won't take another year to get more parts. My starting point is all new stainless lines and brake components, new rubber hoses, get it running again
My goal for the truck is I'm leaning towards making it look like an Eddie Bauer edition and could of come from the factory. I plan to add power windows, power locks, swap to a style side bed, two tone black with ultra fine black chrome flake and copper paint. I would like to add the race track trim and find a set of the Alcoa wheels and run 33" tires. I'm thinking for engine it will be mild maybe a 400 ft-lb goal.
If anyone has suggestions, ideas or cheap parts feel free to comment. Now a couple pictures and ignore the junk the previous owner left it all and just recently said he didn't want it and pitch whatever I don't want.
