Good looking truck. Hopefully you can keep it out of the salt so it will last another 50yrs.

Thanks guys…it’s my dream truck. I paid top dollar.
But it’s exactly what I wanted. It will NEVER see any inclement weather.
I am chasing a oil leak towards the rear of the engine.
are the 360’s prone to have the rear main leak?
thx

I dont think they are anymore prone than any other FE. If the truck sat it could be that you need to replace the seal. The other two locations to check are the Valve Covers and the rear of the Intake Manifold. That is an amazing looking truck!

The leak could be due to the PO switched to synthetic oil and it cleaned out the sludge.

Looks to be a good starting point for a nice truck build. Keep all informed with progress on the truck. Nice looking truck and like the winch bumper and patina. Good buy and enjoy the truck.

I wouldn't change a thing. Wicked cool truck. My 72' 360 has the same leak. Rear main seal. No fun.
