Another Oklahoma Newbie

Hello All!
I have a recently aquired 64 f100 and am starting to put back together. I have had a 48, 50, and a 72 in the past but never a mid 60s before. Bought the truck cheap, it is almost rust free, a little in the floor boards only. I was going to put it a 351w and toploader 4 speed, but decided to go with an old 223 and 3 speed. I am in the Chandler area and would be interested to know of any other members in the area. BTW I am searching for a stock exhaust manifold for the 223, one WITHOUT cracks. If anyone has one or knows where one is I would sure appreciate it. Todd

:welcome: from Louisiana! Good on you for keeping the 223. If you decide you need more cubes, consider a Y-Block which would have also been available in the truck.

Thanks! i started to put the 351 in, but as I was getting it ready I decided I really wanted to keep the old truck feel, since all the others I have had, I switched to newer v8s. I used to have a 312 from a T-Bird with a 3 duce offy intake, but sadly parted with it several years ago. Sure wish I had it now!

Todd.
Welcome.
My best friend is from Chandler.
Tom Henson, aka BroncoTom and he's a long time Slickster on here. Glad to have you.
I'll tell him you're on and maybe he'll give you a call next time he goes up to visit.
You need to get in touch with TruckRat too. He's in OK City.
