1969 f100 ranger 302 lwb

[caseyj10]

I figured i would start dumping my pictures off on here so i can free up some space on my phone. Ill give some back ground on the truck first. in 1969 my grand father (moms dad) bought the truck new off the lot in dallas. he would eventually sell the truck to my great grandfather (moms grandpa) because of financial problems. my great grandfather let it set off and on until he died in 2001. my great grandmother kept the truck till she died a few years after. my grandmother didnt want the truck and wanted to sell it so my grandfather on my fathers side bought it and drove it to east texas where it sat til just a few months back when i asked to trade the truck for a custom built bumper built by me.

The 302 ran, but just didnt sound right. it sounded like it was missing on a cylinder or two and had 10 psi and hot idle. so i wanted to go ahead and do a rebuild.

The timing chain was really loose and had jumped a tooth, the bearings were gone, and one valve was eatin to heck.
