howdy.

i've used the information from this site to get my truck running, thought i'd sign up & say hello & thank you.

i bought my neighbors dads truck, a 1980 f/150 ranger longbed with a 351M/c6.

general clean-up of the chassis:
before (after a good washin')


did this to the whole frame...what i could...


runs great for a truck thats been sitting over 10 years. all it took was some re-wiring, a fuel pump/filter, & i had to rebuild the 2bbl.

at the moment i'm waiting for the paint on the wheels to dry...

again, Thanks.
