Howdy Y'all

Picked up an '83 F150 XLT single cab long bed a couple months ago. 302 and a C6, motor needs a good rebuild so the guy before me had pulled it and I guess was a little out of his league to do a full engine rebuild. Good for me since I got it for a great price of $700, body is in pretty good shape apart from the bit of rust as you'd expect from a midwest truck. Since then I've picked up an '81 F150 base model, 300 with a NP435 behind it. Interior is shot, I just want the motor and trans. Currently working on the engine and trans swap into the '83. I've been on the forum here a few times before but I figured I'd make it official, so howdy yall.

Welcome to FTE, sounds like you have a nice project. Picking up a parts truck is a good way to go.
