I have never heard of the 351M called a midland???? is this correct??? and yes, I seen the eye candy, but was more interested in the trucks description...

call me old I guess... and I have never heard of the topper/cap being called a canopy?? Is this Canadian talk JC??? just was curious to what they were calling things... I have heard a 351W being a Windsor but have never heard the M being called anything...curious minds want to know....

and I think the truck looks well worth the asking price.... couldn't touch it around here for that.....

I always thought 351M or M400 was "modified"

There is no such thing as an M400 or a 400M. There is a 351M because there is a 351C and a 351W so Ford had to ID them but the 400 was just a 400. All the Ford literature says 351M/400 engine family! Also, the M meaning is not well defined and Ford has never stepped up to answer the question. It is simply a term that meant something to the original engineers but they failed to share that info! Selfish b@st@rds! LOL Hawkrod

When I lived in NJ, there were called "caps".
Here in FL they're usually "toppers".

I agree, I have seen this also. When the 351 was first installed in pickups in 1977, the engine became known as the 351M because it was modified for truck service.

I call those things toppers... the thing on the back of the truck that is...

I have never heard of an engine called a "Midland". Remember people from Seatlle are an breed unto themselves. That's where most of the Serial Killers come from.

I always thought it was Modified into a POS (and not just for trucks) from the once-cool Cleveland. At least the Aussies got to reap the benefits.. that's where they sent the Cleveland tooling.

Down here in N.C.,we call them camper shells. As far as the 351M One of the stories I've heard was they were assembled in Midland, where ever,That's all I got folks

We have a city in Michigan called Midland , couple hours North of Detroit where Dow Chemical is located. Saginaw , Bay City and Midland were big auto plant / parts towns for GM back in the day.
