In my humble opinion, I think after you verify all the safety issues are checked off, I'd give the truck a white roof, and change up the interior with two tone seat upholstery. Though a red engine with black valve covers is for the earlier models, sitting in a blue engine bay would spice things up under the hood. A set of the chrome plated "Thunderbird" valve covers could look nice also.
[QUOTE=Rus70416;21218857]That would be cool, when you have time. I have cash app and Zelle I can send it to you with when you're ready. I'm just now fixing to change the oil, 6 quarts I believe from what I've read? And there's no dipstick, I suppose that's normal?..[/ 6 is correct but there should be a dipstick on the right hand side coming up by the exhaust manifold, about the middle. In the picture I posted of the underside of the headers you can see where the dipstick tube goes into the block. If for some reason the motor was replaced with a car motor the dip stick would be on the right side front by the timing chain cover, If there really is no dipstick or tube it is time to visit a junk yard and find one
I sent a message but not sure it went to the right place. If you decide to change the seat upholstery, send me a picture of the old one. I'd pay something for it and shipping. Mine is torn where the driver slides in and out.
I am going to change the seat cover eventually. It looks brand new so I'll let you know when I do. Not looking to make money off it but I do want something different. I did comment where you said this before. I'm new here so maybe I didn't do it right. But I will for sure let you know 👍
