Hey guys, new here to your forum thought I'd post up some pics of my newest project. 72 F100 with a 302 and C4 tranny. The truck is nuthin special and I'm guessing is being held together with bondo, but it's fun nonetheless.
The day I got it
A photochop of what she'll look like after lowering and a splash of paint, or I guess I should say primer.
after welding up the little rust in the floor boards I coated the interior with 4 coats of bedliner
Just got through installing a floor shifter, pretty much custom made. I started with the Spectra "Pep Boys Special" POS universal shifter and used very little of what was in the box for this shifter, but it came out great and shifts real clean. I also made the shift handle out of a chunk of aluminum.
Here's some pics of the linkage I made, using some heim joints laying around the shop.
When I get the engine cleaned up and back together I'll post up some more pics.
