My truck is a 79 F100 2WD short bed. It has a 5" Autofab suspension including 5" coils, bent beams, extended radius arms, modified steering link, 13 leaf progressives in the rear, heavy duty shackles, and an AF 2 link. The motor and trans is 351W/C6 out of a E150 van. I bulged the bed sides 2" and completely redid the enterior with new carpet, fire wall pad, glove box liner, door panels, visors and head liner. I installed Beard seats and then covered the headliner with the same material as the seats. I also put in rear slider window, B and M shifter, and spray in bed liner. The truck was painted inside and out. Im currently building a 350-400 hp 351W and getting ready to mount glass fenders on the front.
Sorry for the long post but another member asked me to describe the truck. Thanks=)
psquare, I see that you went with the sunpro tach. do you like it? how much did it cost? I remember last month or so you had a poll on the combo for guages.
Yah.. I like it. I need to mount it better, but for now my truck is still playing DAILY DRIVER as I put my DD back together (oops). Local consensus is people like it as well. As for the wide band, A friend said "just put it in the glove box, you're only using it for tuning anyway" so I'll keep the digital piece I have. I paid $45? I think for the tach.

Nice truck Luckydoggy! Those seats are comfy huh! I used to love mine. They are just a little bit of a pain to get in and out of for daily driving.
Dr. Dirt - I've got 2 of the sun pro tach's for sale in the classifieds section. Bother were taken out of 70's fords I parted. Both are black face. 1 has the chrome bezel and one a black bezel. I'll take $30 shipped for either if you're interested.

Thanks Chase. Yea, the Beards are kind of a pain to get in and out of. I still like them though. Just wish I would have ordered them a little wider. By the way, your screen name seems really familiar. What other sites do you frequent?
Before, this is the only picture I have with the brittle faded rubber mat.
And the after, I got this carpet from a 77 at my local U-Auto-Pull-It for $18!! I was stoked. Whoever put it in the truck I got if out of took care of it, because it was covered with one of those clear plastic runners that go down the hall in a house. There are a couple of stains but nothing bad. I've always wanted carpet but I didn't want to spend $90-$150 to get it.
You'll notice too I moved the cd player back to the original radio location and mounted my gauges below the dash. I'm very pleased. I just need to get me some floor mats now too.
