Default F-100

I know some of you own, and some of you want to own an early 60's Ford F-100 pickup. Well, there is a '63 for sale here in my little town that the for sale sign says it has a 302 and automatic. The body is really solid and rust free as far as I can tell. Pretty clean old truck if you are in the market. 3K bux but negotiable. Let me know if interested. That '65 A code Mustang white coupe with a 4 speed is still for sale too. It has a vinyl top, but other than that appears to be a real solid car. 7K but negotiable.

I wish I didn't already own a truck, or I would buy this guy. Here are some pics of it that I just took. Notice the reflection of the interior that I took with Ol' Yeller in the reflection. Neat pic, huh?

I like them old trucks like that. I got a 63 Chevy truck if anybody is interested. I also got a 67 F-100 with the 352 BB. it's a nice truck, i just wish it was older. It's sentimental though, My great grandfather bought it new back in 67.

Once I finish up with The Devil I think I'll be getting an old pickup to work on. I really like the 49 studebaker:

What drivetrain would you put in that old Studebaker? I used to own an original '52 Studebaker Champion car. That was a work of art.

That's a good question. I still have at least 5 years until I'm finished with the mustang, so I haven't really thought about it. I know Chevy had a pickup a few years ago (maybe they still make it?) with a 454 in it. I think that would do nicely.

That Chevy 454 is a huge engine. My father had one in a big motor home. The problem he had with it, is that the exhaust manifold kept warping and of course leaking. I have heard of others who had the same problem with their 454's.
