new to the site.

Post by navyeoseabee »

hello, I just got my first classic truck.

Image


i actually made out on this truck as i traded 2 r/c (radio controled) trucks for this one real truck. i may have gave him $1000.00 worth of stuff... in the above "fair" used market, but he had a nagging wife that wanted him to get rid of it.

it currently has non-op tags registration on it so i have not drove it on the street yet just up to the barn and around the horse arena.

anyway... she has a 352ci and 3 on the tree. i hope to get her done up right and maybe switch here to a cummins 4bt and eaton/fuller 6 speed.... :? ... i know many don't like that idea, but 25mpg's and diesel knock is pretty cool.

other than that i have a 07 ford f250 powerstroke, and a 1941 ford 9n tractor... born and raised with a ford in teh driveway. and my twin uncles had a 76 and a 77 custom 250's back in the day. :woohoo:
