picked up this 1969 F100 LWB 390/C6 about a week and a half ago. She hadn't run in 10 yrs, but I got her breathing fire again...well until an electrical gremlin popped up...now trouble shooting that.

Plan to do the CV front swap at some point. Probably an EFI/AOD swap at the same time as the CV K-member. will do a spring under conversion at least or maybe even go with 95-01 Exploder 8.8 with LSD swap.

In the meantime I just want to get her moving under her own power and enjoy her for a bit while working on more immediate needs like replacing the front cab mounts, front inner fenders, and driver floor pan.

Some near term things I will be searching through the boards for are:
1) Worth redoing wiring with an EZ Wiring Harness?
2) Best under-bed fuel tank options with with baffles, in-tank pump and driver side fill
3) Digital gauge options
4) Bench seat with 3 over shoulder belt options

So if anyone has some quick hit comments on these things let me know.

Fun..fun!

Thanks all.

Welcome to Fordification

That is a good looking truck for sitting for 10 years, Is it the original paint or has it been repainted ?

Look forward to seeing You& Your truck onsite to see the progress.

from MA! Really nice truck, sounds like you have some excellent plans for her that I'm considering as well. Looking forward to following your progress and drawing from it.

that's a beautiful truck, mines the same color but covered with pine needles and dirt. Its nice to see one that's still shiny and clean.
