Several days after I bought a new 1965 F100 Styleside, installed a Fey step bumper, the type that didn't wrap around.

Good luck with the '352' you bought, because 390's installed in cars used the same block & head casting numbers.
Good to know about the bumper, I was going to junk it. Got my long block from a very reputable shop that supplies them in the area. I have no reason to doubt their honesty. I guess I'll find out when I get it.
