69FordF100

This is a few pics of my 69 F100. I traded a 4160 Holley Carb for 'er. The 1st few pics is how it looked after i got it. Origionally it was a 300 I6, 3 speed with the factory 3.73:1 gears in the 9". I'm painting back to the factory Med. Blue but changing the Interior to grey and updating it a bit. It's got a ways to go yet but hopefully be done soon!

Well now I have an '87 H.O. 351W out of a Crown Victoria Interceptor in it. I freshened it up a bit, changed cams to a bit bigger one, and outfitted it with a Weiand Stealth Intake and Holley 650 for right now. Running 2 1/4 exh. it runs and sounds bad-ass. The bodywork on the cab, doors and front fenders are almost done. The interior has been changed to Med. Grey. The chassis has been looked over and all worn out stuff replaced. Still has the 3.73's in the 9" rear. I put a '68 truck C4 in it also. That's about it. Getting it ready for it's innogural on-pavement run soon.

Just got back from an almost 3000mi road trip towing 10,000lbs of weight with 'er. Moved from Albuquerque back to Vancouver, WA. For not having the truck on the road long she didn't do too bad. Since the last update, the interior has been almost 100% completed. The cab has ben spraled in all the jambs and window channel. The cab wasn't quite ready to paint yet but I needed to get it road worthy so I just did what needed to be done. Those supposed 3.73 gears turned out to be 3.00:1's -iccckkk! Yeah not what I had expected. Great on the fwy without a trailer crusing at 1900 rpm. With a trailer going thru town-- forget it. The tranny must have been on fire! The holley carb was tossed in favor of a Carter 625 AFB. That helped a bit more since the carter was jetted better than the holley was. Adding power steering is my current project on it right now and then front disc brakes!
