Slick 60's

Hello. A couple months ago I picked up a 66 F100 SWB Fleetside. It's tubbed and has a 10 point cage in it, 5 point harnesses, guages, ratchet shifter, chromoly driveshaft, GM G-body front frame stub, Moroso trick springs, 90/10 lakewoods, aluminum fuel cell, and it's set up for a BBF/C6. There's a little rust in the cab floors and in the bed, but not too bad. I gave the fellow $1500 bucks for it. It's in the video in the sig. For $50 more I got a brand new Comp Cams solid roller turbo grind cam and fabricated foward facing turbo headers from the same guy. Good deal since I planned to turbo it anyway. That day I also picked up a stock D3VE headed 460 that had a factory 4bbl intake on it and a C6 trans for $300. It's siezed up and had a pile of dog food packed into the #2 cylinder (from a mouse I'm guessing.) The PO stuck the stock 8" rear up under it to get it rolling around so I decided that would be the first thing to go. I remembered a buddy of mine got a brand new nodular iron 9" chunk in the deal when he bought his car. He'd never use it so I struck up a deal with him. I traded my old 8" rear complete for his 9" chunk with 4.56's and a spool. I think it's 35 spline. So I call that deal a wash, costed nothing. I just gotta get a housing cut down and get some axles. The PO is a race car builder and says he'll narrow a housing in his jig at a good price. At this point I'm $1850 into this thing. I'm really stoked with this project and I'll be hitting you guys up all the time for tips and hints as I go along.

Sounds like a great deal. Welcome.

Welcome aboard!
That's a fun video to watch. Looks like the truck is a little squirrely off the line, so that may take some getting used to.

So, if I'm reading you right, you got the truck as a roller. Minus the drivetrain, right? Sounds like you got a killer deal, to me.

Hey Mack!!

It had a broken leaf spring in that video. I did get it as a roller because the old engine got destroyed from detonation.

to the group. I've seen that vid before. You may want to check out these boys also if you going to build a 460 for your truck.
