Hello from ALABAMA
I have a 1970 F-100 4X4 that I am currently doing a complete resto on. I have got the frame done and am currently working on putting the rear axle under. The front axle is under it already and bolted down and ready to go,I hope,haha. Sorry no pics of truck. The original color is boxwood green and antique white. Hoping to put it back to factory original with a little help with knowledge and a few well placed tips.

re: Hello from ALABAMA
oh yeah,
the truck has a 360 in it according to the vin but the fenders were badged with 390 emblems and had a 4 wheel drive emblem on them. the vin also says this truck is a fleetside but it had a flareside bed on it and the entire frontend was a 69 front end. kinda confusing but trying to go with vin number. i believe i saved this truck from someone making themselves a butchered mudbog truck. it had not a lick of brakes on it, no drums,no shoes,just great big 44 swampers that they had to cut the fenders to make fit. most already fixed but still trying to find brake lines. np235 4 speed tranny w/2 speed transfer(2w & 4w). believe the engine is actually a 390 but have found a 360 to go in it from late 69.
