Great job Cole! We were snowed in for 2 days here. I wouldn't have taken her out either.

That truck is looking good. I like the way the FORD letters are standing out on that black paint.

A member on here wanted to hear my truck idle so I made a quick video. Thought I might share it here in my build thread as well.

Wow nice, is that still the 302?

I looked in your thread for some engine specs, couldn't find em. Could you give me a run Down of your motor if u haven't already? I've got a 302 and I hope it sounds as good as yours when I put exhaust on her. You running flowmasters?

302
Flat top pistons 0.030 over
Comp Cams 270h cam
Edelbrock performer intake and 600cfm Edelbrock electric choke
Pertronix Ignition conversion
BBK shorty headers into Flowmaster 40 series exhaust

[Craigerf100]

Very nice.
Your 270h comp cam. Do u have any complaints about it?
I'm thinking of getting a different cam.
Thanks

I haven't drove mine much, but I like it so far.

[cole71]

Not much as progress goes, but I did finally take the truck out to a local cruise in last Saturday night. Had a good time and felt good to actually drive the truck some.

[sargentrs]

She looks great, cole! Awesome job.

[cole71]

Thanks sargentrs!

Really digging your truck. Love the rims. If you don't mind, what brand & size are they. I'm in the process of building my 1971, so I appreciate all you've done to yours. It looks awesome!

[cole71]

Thanks squearl! The rims are off a mid 90's f150 (pre 97) The tire size are 255 70 15 all the way around.

Nice truck!

[cole71]

Appreciate it red!

[Maximus]

Awesome truck! congrats on getting to actually enjoy being in the drivers seat!
Which grill is that? the LMC option or another vendor?
Also, must applaud you on the 94-96 alloys, As soon as I landed my truck I had to search a pair for myself as they are one of the classiest OEM ford truck rims ive seen

[cole71]

Thanks Maximus, I got lucky and got a deal in the grill. Bought it from a man that wanted a 67 grill. I'm not sure where the shell came from, but I would just about bet the inserts came from LMC. I like the wheels pretty good too, but I really want a set of American Racing torque thrust wheels eventually.
