New to the site, new to this Era truck

Post by Swegner99 »

I recently bought a 1972 F-250 LWB Single cab. The kid that sold it to me had swapped in a 352 block, the engine is blown and im working on a 460 swap as we speak. I am here to get some ideas for the direction I want to take with this project. I love this body style of truck and look forward to chatting with everyone along the way. I live in AZ and am a Service Writer at a Ford dealership.

I know its got a long long ways to go to be as nice as many i've seen on here, but for the price I picked it up for I cant complain at all. Im really excited to go through the 460 and get it ready to be dropped in.
