What is your project as we are converting a 1968 Step Van into a Food Truck. I'm not sure what the Model is in order to get parts. I believe is a P350 but not sure. Napa says they have parts for that. Ford is absolutely no help using the VIN.

Project Truck

I have a 1971 F100 short-bed Custom. I intend to upgrade form a 302 to a 460 build, which means front end work including brakes,new trans, different drive shaft and possibly different gear. Any ideas or suggestions.

I have a SWB 71 Custom with a 302. I'm a old gray haired man that wants to build a sleeper for my grandson.My buddy's tell me to build a stroked 460 and do some frame up grades, and that's all good if you have the knowledge . This will be the first for me. So I need some advice!!!

I am not a mechanic and have finally landed someone here that is getting this done but very slow. We are converting this into a food truck. Runs good but no brakes ye.
