Look at what I found

If I only had the room to bring it home...

Apparently it looks like it ran when it went to the junkyard. No rust except one cab corner and that looks fairly easy to fix. If I had the room and the money I would fix it.

You can make room.

 

[73F100Shortbed]

No I wish I could, but there just isn't enough room.

Chris can build and engine in his kitchen, I'm sure you have a bathroom or something.

Fixed it for you

The engine isn't the problem. The room in the driveway is because the space is taken with my 65 Mustang

Nice fix.

You can stack things, they do it in Japan all the time!

Damn that's a good looking cab. You check the roof for any issues?

I didn't notice anything off hand. It looked fine. No rust in the roof or anything like that from what I saw. Only thing that stood out was the pass. cab corner because someone did a "quick fix".

Sean...where is that?...I thought I knew where most of the fords were local to us...guess I missed one..

 

[73F100Shortbed]

No you didn't miss it. It is in Oklahoma. If this was in NJ I'd figure out how to have it in my driveway lol

 

[lostinfords]

you could have gotten it AND parked it next to my other Fords down here...need any parts...cleaning up the surplus at my buddies shop

 

[73F100Shortbed]

What do you have? I'm always looking for little misc. stuff.

.....funny question...I got too many trucks..

78 f150 4wd that I hope to finish a cab/bed and front clip swap from the 2wd, so the frame and running gear are available, parting out 2 crew cabs 78 f250 4wd and 78 f350 2wd, 2 f250 4wd's going to be parted out and eventually a f250 s/c, + I am going to p/u another 2wd s/c for parts+ all the stuff I got crammed into the storage trailer and garage

 

[73F100Shortbed]

The only thing I can think of offhand would be a seat in good shape that doesn't need upholstery and is black. Otherwise I'd reupholster mine. And west coast jr. mirrors.

I know I've asked you before...but if you have or come across a good/rebuilt bendix power assist control valve and the accompanying power cylinder, let me know.

 

[lostinfords]

I haven't forgotten about you Ben,...you should have asked way before the 2 units went out to the mid west that I had, but I am keeping my eye open for one for you...been busy tearing down the 78 4wd parts crew and preepin' the 78 f150 4wd for a hopefully busy snow season , but not before swapping all the sheetmetal from a good 2wd to the 4wd frame

Alright...appreciate it man.

I have to check on what I have in storage ..as far as colors go...I have 2 in the crew cab that need re-upholester, if you want one to re-do and still keep yours in and in use you are more than welcome to it

 

[73F100Shortbed]

That could work out well so that the truck won't be down. I will pm you after thanksgiving about it. Thanks
