Re: Plans....

Keep relatively stock looking, more power, good exhaust, reliable.
Runs great with original 360. A/C works great.
Have a complete 390 in storage. Needs freshening plus some light power upgrades. Maybe next summer.
Like to keep running with original patina paint for as long as possible, with just a few repairs.
Keep dog-dishes that it has now, just need one stainless trim ring.

Freshening up steering right now. Learned that this truck is one of the exceptions to the internet "rules".
Built in May 69 in CA, most places, but not all, say it should have had a Ford steering box. No. It had it's
all original sloppy Bendix steering box. Paid $$ to have a real rebuild, not just seals.
Detailing steering box area now for the install. Can't wait to try it out.
