I think the 70-up Bumps and Dentsides used a small block mount that lowers the engine a bit. If you had a six cylinder in it, the engine is further forward and higher than it needs to be. There is info about this either on this site or maybe Fordification.com (I can't find it right now).
I am reading your work with interest, Dot, as I am doing an EFI Windsor myself, and am daunted by the wiring. Nice work!

Thunderboy is this the article you were refering to?

After not doing much for a few months, have moved onto the cab.

Other than the bench seat, floor mat and gas tank, it is pretty well stripped of parts. I will post a couple photos in my album.

I had about half a dozen dents in the roof, so got out a dent puller and had the roof looking like a porcupine for awhile. Be careful using one of these, I got carried away and put a couple holes in my roof and had to do some welding. Next week I'll sand off the rest of the roof paint and get a thin coat of filler on it and try to rough it into shape.
