RedDevil460, Thanks, I really like the oxford white. I would take sparkling chrome over blacked out everytime.

broncoderek. I like your truck as it is. I just may add a dual hood scoop and running boards myself. Also, it would look good with vent visors, a roof visor and a little wider tires.
Yeah it looks great. I liked white before but now that I've got a white truck, I like them more, for some reason, haha. I'm a big fan of chrome, but like the blacked out look too. With all the white and chrome on my truck, I'm going smoked for the lights to contrast/break up all the chrome and white. And because I like the smoked lights better, but I think I'm going to keep the headlights clear/chrome.

Why thank you! I think a 4" lift and 32-33" tires will do help a lot!

I rarely say this but that truck I think would look good with chrome trim on the fenders. Break up the red a bit add a bit more chrome I think it would put the icing on the cake. Not to much more I would do to that beauty.



Ford Fun 14 do you have any pics from the rear I am curious about your exhaust exit.

Jokes aside, it's a beauty, I hope you make it run soon. I've heard they're good on gas too, so that should be a big plus.

It is getting the engine pulled this winter. I will be going through it an rebuilding it. Hopefully have it running by next summer. And yes, they get great gas mileage. The turbo Corvair my grandpa had before this one got ~28 MPG with the non-ethanol fuel he put in it.

I have a 93 f150 with the 351W in it a little over 250,000 on it and she feels pretty tired. Its all stock and I've got some money coming in of about 2k . besides a K&N intake and exaust what can I do to bring back the spunky quick truck I remember? If I'm gonna be putting money in her I want it loud and quick. Not looking at top end but more of acceleration. Can anyone help?
