yeah I know it's not a truck but then again this is general auto and it is a ford lol.
Just picked this up yesterday and got home with it today. It's going to take some work but it's my new project/toy

We had a new 67 gallaxy XL when I was a kid, it was cherry red aith a white top, 390 with an automatic. My dad sold it cause it had too much power, it would get my mom in trouble.

Very nice.
I wish I could find that body style Galaxie, even with a six in it. I had a 70 Galaxie 500 with a built 351w that I just got rid of, wish I could have kept it but it needed a ton of bodywork.
I think a 390, with EFI, a nice paint job, some nice Torq-Thrust or Cragar SS wheels, and that this would kick some serious ***.

But I do like the old FE's and I have to get into the engine to see what I have to work with before I make the decision on which engine, if I have to buy another core FE to do that it's going to the big motor as i already have a base new aftermarket block to work with sitting here that needs a home.

I remember my best friends mom got a 69-70 army issue Galixie 500 390 auto LS rear no radio ugly army green but man that thing would roast the tires until you let up and handled pretty good at a 120 stopping was another story though drums at all four corners.
