any projects ?
how many have a project they are working on? My 56 M100 is in pieces, we are finishing up the frame so it can be painted, reassemblied and the cab can go back on. It will be interesting to see how the 302/C4/steering column all fits with the Mercury car front clip. I am using the rear springs/hangers from a 75 F100 and a 9 in Ford rear end. Still body work to be done on the box, running boards and fenders. The cab body work is finally, rust free and looking great.

Just the Crew Cab it's an ongoing project, finishing up the install of the buckets for the rear seats, then a rust patch on one pillar, then concentrate on the interior; insulation, rugging, door seals, then body work. Bed is pretty, actually very rough. Eventually body work and paint, very eventually!!

Well Tuesday will be changing shocks on the truck. The weather is nice enough for me not to woose out. Near future have to change the manifold gaskets. Leaks between the the 2 of them on my 300 six.
I also notice a 1 1/2 in crack on the intake manifold where the exhaust and intake bolt together. Its not broken just a crack that the exhaust fumes from the gasket leak have adhered to. So I may need another intake manifold. This tells me the crack is sucking air in through the crack. anyone got a good 300 six intake for my 85 laying around?

Amigos comes to mind but you are aways away. Maybe after work so to save traveling as far. Another place would be Bucks Auto Parts..249-7278, closer and cheaper, bring your own tools. I can ask a friend if he wants to sell one from his spare 300-6 engine. It is an 89 so it maybe different with fuel injection....

Fomoko, if you decide to use the car rear suspension, I'd use ranchero rear springs. It will still sit at the same level but will have a payload capacity of about 750-1000 lbs (depends on what GVW of the car).
