Always had a soft spot for gen 5 trucks and this one is a beauty!

Good looking truck! My first pickup looked just like that, same color and everything but was a '71, 240 i6, and three on the tree.Good luck with your upgrades!

Happy belated birthday!

Looks great!

Beautiful truck, super straight!Tell us more!

Glad the updates are happening. I've seen a couple of my favorite forums go down for good because the platform wasn't up to date and spammers made it miserable to participate.

This truck didn't come with air so we added a unit from Nostalgic A/C in 2015, runs R134a.

I like how you started out with the important stuff(stereo), lol.You keep checking things off the list, glad you are getting things done!

A/C wasn't cooling so I added freon, much better!

Yeah, and it's certainly harder for you guys that have to deal with hard winters. I can drive mine year around which makes it easier for sure.

Happy very belated birthday!

Welcome from Texas!

Nice, glad you were able to get them out a little bit!

Happy Birthday!

That's awesome! Hopefully the chip shortage issue can be resolved and they will actually be able to build them.A buddy of mine was just notified that his new Bronco has been delayed with no date set yet.

Happy birthday!

Happy belated birthday!

I've head the reason for batteries being so poor compared to the old days is W-mart forcing their manufacturer to make them cheap and other folks had to do the same or not be able to sell a battery.Ken, glad you got your trucks going!

Might be better to move this to the Gen 10 forum ;)Looks like the lone wire (tach side) goes to the tach and may go to the distributor as well. On the dual wires (batt) one wire goes to the distributor and ignition switch and the second to the radio noise capacitor.I don't have one of these...

Excursions are a beast for sure!Afraid I can't answer about the shocks though.

Happy belated Birthday!

You bet!

I poked around and this may or may not be right but TE-AB seems pretty clear so that's what I used to narrow things down. I found this for big block fords, D9TE-AB – 1979-1984, 429/460 Big-Block Ford, 2-bolt mains, Truck.It looks like there were several different options for the 460 in 78...

Welcome from north Texas!

I believe on the 460, the engine casting number is on the rear of the block by the starter. That should tell you the year.Not sure what might need to be modified to get it in your truck. What engine are you replacing with it?

Welcome to FTF!Love what Make A Wish does, glad you can do that!

Looks like only 67-72 had those types of springs on the door hinges.Looks like they are available from a number of sources.

Welcome from Texas!

Man, looks good!

Dang, happy very belated Birthday Dunkin!
