Hello from Wales

Hi all from Wales, UK.

Picked up this 1977 f250 with a 460 big block last week. In need of a mechanical check over and then to decide how to go about restoring.

Didnt come with an air box or filter, any suggestions on an aftermarket filter to throw on her just for now while I try and source a box.

Thanks!

Any old 12" filter housing should do, such as this one: https://www.partsgeek.com/fgzzyvz-fo...5Yg5J3tYN0Uf2g

Hi Rig110 welcome to the Forum. What are your plans with your truck. Restore original or as a daily user? Check out your Years threads when you have time.

I would check out Holly Fuel injection and complete kit as a better investment. Original Carbs and fuel pumps are antiques now. Fuel injection and better MPG's

Whereabouts in Wales are you from? My great grandfather was the builder who rebuilt Wrexham breweries and I still have some relatives there.

I like about an hour and a half from Wrexham! Interesting to hear, out of interest are you in Pennsylvania? I know there are a lot of Welsh descendants in the state in particular!

You need to look at my profile 😁
I have a place in France and another in Germany, where the F350 is registered (it’s pretty much impossible to register it in France). I’m looking at coming over in spring to visit friends and relatives, maybe we can meet up.
