I'm back!

Well I got sick and tired of seeing my '53 f250 sitting. Some of you may remember that I put the project on hold because life got in the way. (School, work, family obligations, etc.) But after looking at it sit for over six months I couldn't take it any longer. The first step to make it reliable once again was to tear the engine out and reseal it.

Glad you're back! Engine looks great! Check out my thread when you get a chance. I have my 300 in and you helped a lot. I followed lots of the way you did it. I need to update the thread, right now I have removed the cab to repair the floors.

Welcome back. I know about life getting in the way. I let mine sit for five years due to having three knee replacements done. Two times on the right knee. Your truck looks good and the engine will look great and show us more updates when you can.
