That is a nice truck! Big block, power steering. Looks ready to go. Welcome to the "site". I am relatively new, and have gotten some real good direction here. It's fun, and you aint in the dark about anything to do with these trucks.

You must have got a good deal on some blue paint. LoL
I bit too much blue for me but it does have a nice sleeper look to it.

But you do have my all time favorite engine under the hood.

Very nice looking truck. Don't look like it needs much in the way of rebuilding.

Post by **Greg D** » July 16, 2007, 8:10 pm

That looks like Ford Grabber Blue one of my favorite muscle era colors, I had a 71 Torino GT that color. Very Nice truck! How wide are those wheels and what size tires are you running? Looks like Nadine's younger sister.

dwbr · Post by **dwbr** » July 16, 2007, 8:27 pm

tires are front 235/60/15 rear is 275/60/15,so far what my plans are to rebuilt the engine, lower it, repaint it, wider tires in rear, narrower in front, alum rims, so far for engine parts i have bought, c9ve heads that have been reworked 3angle valve job, ported, etc, edlebrock performer rpm intake, edelbrock performer rpm cam and true roller timing chain, ford racing alum water pump, high output fuel pump, ford racing high volume oil pump, still need to get, comp cams roller rockers, sanderson headers, hei distributor,.. thats the plan anyway, i have an issue with it overheating right now at highway speeds, so im trying to decide to rerod radiator or buy new aluminum one

You might check the cost of a reproduction bumper before having yours chromed, might be a bit less.
