Hi All,
This is my first post and deals with my current situation if you can call it that. I've been struggling for months now deciding what truck and which engine I am going to keep and sell off all of the others. It's a case of too many choices and the time has come to make one. How I got here is a long and boring story as I do not own my own junk yard but, at the end of the day, I'm only keeping one truck. My only parameters are that whatever I keep is going to be a daily driver and I don't tow, haul, or go off road. My goal is to end up with a ground up restoration vehicle that is fun to drive and that I can be proud of . So, without adding any more to it, I thought I would just list my vehicles and engines that I currently own and just ask......If it were you, what would you do? I'm hoping that this will be at the very least, an entertaining mental exercise. So here's my list; 74 F-100 Custom 302/C-4 front discs, air, PS. 73 F-250 Ranger Camper Special 360/C-6 ,PS,PB. 68 F-250 Ranger Camper Special 460/C-6 conversion,PS,PB,Factory Air (nice), lot's of work done already and no rust. 73 F-250 Ranger Camper Special (parts truck) Cab and bed are 73 but it currently sits on a 69 4x 4 chassis, rebuilt 390/c-6, 3 speed manual, with a 4" lift kit and 10" rims and tires (width).
I 'm also sitting on a bare block rebuild; DOVE 460 engine stage 4 RV cam (ford racing), roller rockers, mild port and radius competition valve grind with o/sized intake and stock size SS exhaust valves, Edelbrock performer manifold, pro-form 650cfm carb, shorty nickel plated headers that will fit any of the above mentioned trucks. The engines is ready and just needs to be installed....but into what?
Assume I own everything I need as far as parts already. All input is welcome!
