I killed a snake in my grass today. I nearly jumped out of my skin and f-ed up my knee trying to get away from the thing. I pushed the f100 away from the spot by the shed and put it closer to the garage so I can get to it with air tools. I took the hood out of my shed and set it up on a pallet to d...

its far easier to use the whole uni, it will bolt right up to the 4x4 frame

depends on how correct you want to be

never seen any other color.
sadly the sun cooks them thru the windshield, ever touch one that has been in a closed up truck in very hot temps

poor little truck indeed

yes John it was left in the far north land

i googled images for 223 oilpans appears that one is 53-60

John the one laying on the pallet is a 223, got it with the 61 short uni i had years ago, but what it came out of originally i do not know.

that is very cool
my dad had a 53 with the inline 8
got a pic of it somewhere

some of those items are insanely priced, though im sure he will sell a lot of them

i gave a guy a nos inner door handle the other day new in the ford box, probably could have gotten $200 judging from the above prices.

"any color so long as its gray"

39 here too. used no hints either
not really all that hard but the questions need to be read carefully

Ba ha ha

yes, no kool aid for me either
my wife goes on there and tells me or shows me things every now and then but not me i stay here

that is a very nice flareside

Looking at my pic of the dash, any ideas if someone has hacked the radio opening or if I could still get a stock radio in there? Though I will not do a true to stock restoration, I like the look of the factory radios in old cars and trucks. They look strange to me with a modern stereo in them. yes ...
