New Bumpside Owner in New Orleans

Post by iwhodat »

Image[/URL]
I'm Chris from Louisiana. Fordification is my new favorite forum! :fr:
It's a 1972 F100 it has a 360 with 85000 original miles. The truck was originally from Utah. I purchased it from a guy in Texas. I can't believe I was lucky enough to be the first guy to look at this truck. I bought it from the guy at 11pm. If I had waited till the next morning to go check it out, it would have probably been sold. The previous owner had the "spacer to intake" and "spacer to carb" gaskets flipflopped around which caused an intake leak at the back of the carb. I put some new gaskets on the correct way and she runs great. First order of business is to get an aftermarket air conditioning system. Summers are just too dang hot in New Orleans.
