Them HMMWV tires may have been directional as some of the old bias ply tires were thats what could have caused some ride issues for you.

The truck was going to get scrapped b/c the fuel pump ecentric was shot.......I slapped an electric pump on it with some cheapy plugs and the rest is history!!!

Here are a few pics I took tonight.......11-16-09 A friend modified the power steering pump bracket to work for the 460 swap.....the radius on the far left is the "stock" hole he welded the extra then machined the arch for the bracket to travel

Not to be a smart-a** 'cuz i'm still a noob, but my truck is the exact

same color and its a '73 F100. Was the color called something different

that year? I can't go check it right now as I am away on a trip, but I've

run my VIN numerous times and cross-checked it with different

catalogs always with the same result so I'm 99.9 percent

sure its a '73.

Would you care to enlighten me, perhaps?

Well I only paid $450 for mine and I consistently see people in my area

sell running dent's for <900. Of course I'm in the Hippie state (Western

WA) and everyone here is worried about the environment. P'shaw.

Awesome truck twisted84, I like where its headed. Stay strong and keep

the Ford Faith.

I am curious on your add-a-leaf lift? I have a 79 f250 lowboy and want lift it a few inches.. did you put a rear add-a-leaf in the front? if so how did it handle.. also with those m88 tires...? any help would be appreciated just trying to get my lowboy to look like a highboy inexpensively.
