Havent updated this thread in awhile!!! Brakes have been completely rebuilt, all new fuel systems from saddle tank to the carb, officially proved that the motor is toast, getting ready to pull the front clip to make better access to yank the motor and trans.

Ill try to post some pics later this weekend.

My first brand new truck was a '77 F150 with a 351M. Midnight Blue Metalic. Wish I had that one back.

Had a 74' F100 4x4 in HS. Some great memories, like fitting 8 people in a single cab after a bon fire. And yes, I am of Mexican descent but the other were anglo.

Got the front clip pulled and everything ready to pull the motor and trans next saturday.

Now the real trick will be how to make it better than 4-6 mpg
I don't believe I ever saw a 460 eng that got better than 8.
They do have a lot of down low pulling power.
Nice clean old truck!!!!

Sweet. I have a 75 with the 350 Cleveland until I rolled it. Then I got a 78 baby blue 150 with a 351 Windsor until it was totaled in a wreck. I loved those trucks.

In the late 80’s I traded an inflatable raft for a powder blue ‘72 with a 351M/400 and C6. It ran but with the stuck lifter it sounded like an old diesel. Yours is cleaner now than mine was then. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
