what could be cooler?
-73-79 1/2 ton swb
-white/ dark blue paint scheme- blue on raised part of hood and channels on side of the body
-major coilovers in the front so front hight is adjustable
-irs from expidition
-retractable tonnue cover
- blockable grill for when areodynamics are needed
-lightning 17" "titanium" rims & bfg g force rubber (appropriatly sized-wide)
- one booming radio (to laugh at ricers on all fronts)
-beefed 6 speed tranny from newer superduty, gearvendors
- lightning 5.4, blown and all, but modified for about 500-600 horse
im only talking 2wd here, but sounds like fun

Sounds like one nice ride, can not forget about the throty dual exhaust. I would actually, put a 390 in it, and have the ZF 5 speed behind it, I think that would be better, and a lot less work. Because with the 5.4 you are not going to get that 6 speed to bolt up without some sort of adapter, plug you need a new rear end, for the speed sensor, and the wiring harness.

yeah somthing like that fine piece of machinery
but im not quite one for the slammed look, i would put it so the top of the tires are at the fenders on the back, and the top of the rims at the front, and i initially thought about black, but i saw the blue/white scheme and just fell for it.
oh and fordman as a project truck it would most likely start out w/ a 390 but an fe wont bolt up to a zf-5
or else i would say side oiler! plus w/ the irs it would already have the electric speedo.
what im aiming for is a retro-muscletruck (thats why i picked the lightning) but gotta have the flowmasters
but it would need one small (1"x3") lightning emblem on the tailgate for those witha keen eye...
now if only i had the cash...

that is a sweet ride, but.... IMO, the 64-66 f-100 were made to look fast. The SWB trucks almost look fast in stock form.
When I have my 6 car garage, there will be a bay for a 64-66 f-100 or even better, a mercury m-100!!
