I own a 1969 F-100 that has been off the road since 1996. In 2002 I took it apart to begin restoring/restomoding it. It's still not back together yet but I am getting there. It's about 85% complete and should be driveable sometime this summer. It's a Ranger model with a 390,originally had a 3-spd standard OD T-85N tranny but I had to swap that out when I converted the truck to power steering. The "three on the tree" column wouldn't work with the Ford power steering box and I couldn't find a floor shifter that I could make work with the T-85N tranny. Rear axle is a Spicer 60 limited slip with 3.54's. So far I have installed an aluminum Performer intake and a four barrel and a dual exhaust system with turbo mufflers. :hi:
390 FE IN A "BUMP" / 383 WEDGE IN A 2 DOOR C-BODY / 351W IN A FULL-SIZE MERCURY / 194 CHEVY 6 IN A DUECE / 2.4 DOHC CHRYSLER IN A PLASTIC BUBBLE (Driver)
