Ultimo Hombre 72 F100

After way too many years, I've decided to rewire the cab of my Frankenstein 72 F100.
Here's the truck:

Here's the engine I rebuilt about two years ago:

And here's before/during pics of the wiring:

And this is the relay panel I made for it that I hope works...

Your probably gonna need a lot...more than 6 circuits.

Who's panel is that, (manufacturer)?

I made it myself. I think I can piggyback some stuff. It's pretty basic.

Been trying to get the front end together with parts from Marketplace and a buddy of mine. These inner fenders and core support are 73-79, but nothing else on this truck matches, soooo...

I have no idea where this truck cab is from. There aren't two matching parts on the whole thing! It was put together down at the Kentucky/Tennessee border.

Green car is a '72 Vega. One of those bucket list cars, only this one is a little bucketier than I was hoping.

Nice work saving another truck!

The Vega looks nice , a person doesn't see many up north , they tended to dissolve.
You gonna put a Ford engine in it ? Get back at those fools that put LS's in everything .

Thanks! I've always wanted one just like this, but couldn't afford a "nice" one. I'll be more compelled to keep this one, though.

Here's another one I've always wanted, and this one is in a lot better shape than I would expect. I sort of plan on a Big Block C-word with all the crazy stuff like a high rise 2x4, etc, sort of early 80s pro street with some Grumpy Jenkins influence. It's got a narrowed 9" and I'm running a 3-speed toploader with an old Hurst shifter that emulates a sequential shifter.

But a 429 would REALLY set this thing off! Plus, the entire drivetrain would be Ford. That might be a brilliant idea...
