Or two...........lol

Looks like the top of the running boards will be about 38" above the ground. I've got a powered set of steps designed that will be hidden under the running boards and will swing down sideways. I also have a pair of 3" chrome side pipes to go under the running boards...

Now that the chassis is out of the shop, we can put my 67 shortbed in. I need to install the 3 speed/w overdrive and make a new driveline, then finish the chrome stacks and hook up the exhaust. Then it will be my daily driver so we can start on the F-600 tow truck!

Is that the one I got you a 3 groove 300-6 crank pulley for?
Don't remember, what happened to the 94 F-150/302 you changed over to Carb from EFI?

I have a nice offy 4bbl intake with a holley on it, and a set of hooker headers that would love to find a new home. Nothing like opening the secondarys on a 300 with headers on it.... She'll bark!!!!

Bring it with you!, I got a guy at work who I am trying to walk through durasparking his 84 F-250 300-6, it has that HORRIBLE EECII TFI feedback carb set-up that is in it's last gasps, he is looking for headers and at least a 2bbl manifold.

I rebuilt the 300/6 and installed a Offy manifold and 390 Holley and a set of duel outlet headers. I just needed the 3 groove pulley so I could use the power steering and Dave found me one. I had a 3 speed installed but found a 3 speed /w overdrive I'm putting in now. The shortbed came with notched front for stacks, and I've got a pair of 2" chrome side pipes that will work good for stacks! Should only take a day or two to get it ready. It's got sheet metal parts from 3 different rigs, so we'll give it a quick sand and put a coat of primer on. Won't paint it till next summer...

Actually duraspark is plug and play if you go with a gm hei modual. I'll dig out the how to thread I wrote on it a while back. He can also use a carter single bbl carb off your 67 on the stock intake, just has to oblong the mounting bolts in the carb base.
The best and fastest exhaust is the efi manifold, and a cat conversion pipe, I'll dig the part # out for that. He'll have to grind a spot off the alt bracket.

I can ship the offy and carb out ther no prob, and even a stock manifold set, but the headers would cost more than they are worth to ship
