those tires r mine!!!
No one has paid me for them yet.
im sure you owe me money for something
bitch:flipoff2:
fancy cool name is sitting right outside on the street. its back up and running, so i drove it everywhere today.
since I'm researching the **** out of fords again. they are remarkably a lot of 67-72 builds on pirate. go check em out.
i would also add power steering to your list. power brakes too.
Well, I got me some tires, and i'm going to pick up a 7.3/zf5 speed/bw1356 for this this at the beginning of june. That combo won't go in for a good while, I'm going to go through it and get everything cleaned up with some new parts. Does anybody know of a good oem diesel turbo that puts out a good amount of boost for this size engine? I'm going homebrew turbo on this diesel, and I have no idea which turbos are legit. I know I could make more power out of another engine but I want to fool around with an oilburner and some boost.
thats one heavy ass motor. Check out www.dieselstop.com for ford crap
I bet if you scour junkyards in Corpus you can find a 7.3 turbo diesel in a wrecked black pickup
What year is the truck?
You said early 70's in your first post, but I'm thinking late 60's. The 71 & 72 fords had the two piece grille IIRC.
Either way, a powerstroke in an old truck like that would be seriously awesome :gigem:
Best I can tell it's a 71 or 72 because of the way the turn signals are situated. The earlier ones had a piece of the grille that went around them and behind the grate that is wire tied to the front, it has a column in the middle so my guess is 71 or 72. The 7.3 is also pre-powerstoke, which i think is good for this truck because being an IDI engine it has no electronics to mess with.
If I spent 500 on it this summer before wheeling what would be best for wheeling capability?
a sammy, perhaps?
:flipoff2:
1. get it running and driving
2. find some used tires
3. Fab up some simple bumpers with recovery points
or go the Trugly route
get it running, shackle flip the rear, bumpers, anyting else that you can think of thats free or cheap
