Thanks! The 292 is getting rebuilt with a stout cam and headwork and will see some boost from a turbo/intercooler setup. An Aerostar IFS swap to set her a few inches lower, and some more of the same color paint.

I just need to stop modifying the car so I can have the $$ to finish the truck.....

Here's my truck, the pic was taken last summer;

Here's a shot under the hood at my big 500ci Caddy with custom made valve covers;


And finally here is a shot of my driveway, the little Falcon is my wife's daily driver;

SWEET! Is the Caddy engine stock? That thing makes more torque than mine ever will.

Yep, bone stock. I have upgraded to electronic ignition though. I do have a set of headers but I can't put them on, they interfere with my steering.
I am currently assembling a MegaSquirt computer and I'm going to go with port fuel injection....hopefully by the end of the summer

Your truck is awesome!!! When you start modifying and you want to get rid of those wheels, let me know. I have a set of 5 hole mags like that but mine are really stained.

If I decide to let them go, you will be the first person to know. They would be hard to sell though, they are actually older than the truck.

Thanks, Its always good to have a spare set of tires and wheels. You can change the whole look of the truck in about half an hour. Like I said, I have a set but they will need some serious cleaning.

The Cragars that are on my truck are pretty old and the chrome is peeling in spots, the tires or old bias plies (I've been trying to wear them out....there's plenty of black tire marks down my street...lol) I have a new set of radials to put on when I wear out these bias plies. Maybe I'll clean up my slotted mags and put the radials on them

Nothing special to look at, Just a good, solid, clean F350.. Best truck I've ever owned.. I'll have this one for a long, long time.

for those that noticed, thats a 72 'burban in the background..been in the family since nov of 71..just rolled over 94,000 this year, and still has the original bottom end in the motor. The boy will get it when I'm gone. Ford didn't build one that size then, or Dad woulda had it..but that thing has been to hell and back a few times, and it still has it when I need it.
My boys 84 Z28 is hiding behind the truck. I hate that car almost as much as it hates me. What a cheaply made, thin skinned, fisher price-ish pile THAT thing is...(although it's pretty dammed fast now with the motor I just built and dropped in it) It's just craptastic....Only thing I miss about the 70s is the cars. And some of the music. The rest.. not so much.

Thank You! Its a 93 with a 460, E4OD..Insides just as clean the outside.. Has a sprayed in bedliner, and a recent Flowmaster in place of that huge thing Ford put in there....When it stops raining I'll get some more pictures.. That was the only one I had handy..
