Its ALIIIVE

Post by JohnnyF »

I joined this forum back when i purchased my 70 stepside. First thing i did, bought the truck, towed it home, joined fordication and ford enthusiasts. second day ignore the enthusiasts and just read fordication :)


So I got the truck running by replacing the entire ignition system, 2gal gas tank in the engine bay started it up I was happy. I took it into a mechanic in feb because he had to fabricate some parts for the drum brakes and i wanted the whole system redone. Still 4 drum, but i needed a parking brake and I dont know how to bend brake lines and so on. I finally picked it up today and drove it home and its glorious, first time driving it im in love it reminds me of my grandfathers 69 long stepside that I learned to drive on.

Anyways I can babble a good bit but long story short ima be very active on here and be needing some help !

To Do List -
Headers,
exhaust
intake manifold
carberator
chop 4inches roof
bag it
disc brakes !

I have random parts for drum brakes and a gas tank for sale
