not a truck but just had to share
I know this isn't a truck but ive gotten o excited about it the last couple of days that I had to share with my FTE friends. its taken 12 years of parts hunting and restoration to get it finally completed. its a 1970 mach 1 428 SCJ 4 speed toploader, 4.30 rear, ram air shaker in medium red. heres a few pictures of it. ive been dreaming of this car for 12 years and I finally got to drive it for the first time Monday when it was delivered.

A Mustang on the forum doesn't bother me. I've owned the same '68 Mustang since I've been old enough to drive --33 years.
That's a very nice '70 Mach 1.
. Does it have the factory engine oil cooler on the left front of the core support?

That is 1 of the badassest mustangs ford ever built. I am jealous. Downright petulant. If you were closer to me I would drive over to your house and steal it. All the ss 396 chevelles ever saw of these were the *** end. Nice car.

yes it has the external oil cooler and the oil filter adapter, which is hard to find after the first shop I had it in put it on an engine stand for a 302 and the stand collapsed and shattered the adapter. complete drag pack options.

Yep, the oil cooler parts alone for these cars are VERY expensive.
I have an oil filter adapter from a 429 SCJ.
...and a couple of oil filter adapters from Ford truck 460 engines (middle and right in photo).

Very very nice, I bet it brings a smile to your face. I am sure all of us Ford truck nuts would own that one if we could, I know I would for sure.
I double dog dare ya to do a burn out video.

Super nice Mach 1. Those were the days. The double slashes outside the headlights is inspired design. I am glad to see you have the BFG Radial T/As on it so they have period correct full white letters.
[rant on]I don't get why just about everyone who makes white letter tires do the outline white letters. Is it cheaper for them? They look like *** compared to full letters like the BFGs have. I run BFG All-Terrain T/As on my truck JUST for the white letters. Best looking tire on the road. More manufacturers should run full white letters. I am a huge white letter tire fan. Blackwalls? That's for taxi cabs and cop cars.[rant off]
