Well, I recently picked up a 67 F100 PreRunner. It was a fine running vehicle, and now I have stripped it down for upgrades. In the last 2 months I have spent 3 times the purchase price on upgrades.
I know nothing about Fords, so I am all about the learning.
Here is a link to my purchase and buildup.

re: Hello
Looks like you started with a good setup to begin with, cant wait to see the finished product. You couldnt have come to a better place to learn.

Nope. No idea. Just having fun with it. It is the first time in a while I have jumped into a project where I don't know the secrets of the vehicle.AlleyCat wrote:Hi and welcome from Pennsylvania.
Love the 429 though!
I can break a steel ball in a rubber room.
