70 F100 Big Burtha UPDATE 4/11

[AlleyCat]

I'm jelous of that AlleyCat I need a part time job but i don't think any around here are hiring. Plus I'd probably blow all my pay check on parts

I just blew the last 3 checks on a 69 F250 highboy.

BTW, as dumb as that sounds my regular job pays the bills. The junkyard job buys extra stuff that I couldn't otherwise afford.

The project is back on! I ordered a flywheel from rockauto so it should be here by thursday and then friday night the truck goes out to the race car shop to be put on the lift so I can get the flywheel/clutch swapped out hopefully in a saturday . But til then I changed my door panels and wired up the F600 cluster but changing the door panels hatched my bright idea to paint the interoir black becasue someday the trucks gonna end up being blue.

So heres all I got done before it started raining.









Hopefully by the weekend I'll get to try and drive the new big burtha!!

Hmm that's kinda funny i don't know why but I've awlyes wanted a blue truck

[FordTruck]

I'm shure I've shown this before but this is about what I want the ol 70 to look like someday just a hair shorter on the stacks.

[89ford]

Wow sadly I have seen some trucks around here with the crappy high stacks on em but at the right height they look good

[FordTruck]

The flywheel came today!!! so tommrrow I'll start beck at square one

[AlleyCat]

Ain't trucks fun? Seriously though I'm sure it's all gonna work out fine.

[89ford]

whoo hoo!!

[FordTruck]

After getting the flywheel and right clutch on the truck I got it all put back together and thrusday evening me and my friend chelsea drove her home and I'm still finishing up other little ods and ends but man it feels good to be driving her around!! I still want to swap my F250 CS coil and leaf springs on it and I need to get a gas gauge working then it should be good to drive for awhile. But it'll never be done

The 4spd is home for good!!!





Probably about the best I've ever seen it look

[AlleyCat]

Glad to see you got it drivin again.

Glad to see you got it all going! Amazing what the "right parts" can do for us.
I'm in the same boat now with wrong parts...
Your truck cleaned up nicely too.

[FordTruck]

Thanks Alleycat it feels good to be driving it around I'm slowly starting to trust it again.

Basketcase I know how you feel if I would have payed closer attention to the flywheels I probably could have been driving it along time ago.
