69 F100 Father/son project

[schwefel69]

Been looking for couple months to find a good solid pick up to start a resto project on and heres what I found.
A 1969 Ford f100 2wd Short box 360/c6 auto combo.

All I had to do to it was re gap the points, and dump some fresh gas in her for her to fire up and purr like a kitten.

After I washed all the black crap off of her and made her shine!

She cleaned up real nice. Congrats!

How she sits at this moment, till I get some funds saved up

Engine after new Air cleaner, and tune up.

She cleaned up real nice. Congrats!

All it took was 2 scrubings and some elbow grease =)

She is currently Parked for the winter season, but im gonna be sandblasting the rims and polishing the chrome and the mirrors to save me some time before the mad rush to officaly start the resto in spring!

Good looking truck especially for MI. So what are the plans? All stock resto or a modded truck?

[schwefel69]

Actually gonna be like 'Farm truck" on the show Street Outlaws kinda haha, Gonna be the stock Lunar Green/ White top with a beefed up motor/trans/4:11 rear gears pushing 33s. Gonna be a sweet "original" looking truck with a little bit of something under the hood

Looks like a nice old truck. Have fun with the resto in the spring. I wish my dad did a project like that with me when I was a kid. I'm near the Lakeshore, about 1 hour from Battle Creek, so I understand how winter around here can make a project just about come to a halt...unless you're one of those lucky guys with a heated shop.

I just replaced the radiator, thermostat and housing, and the upper and lower hoses on my 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager 3.8... yesterday and today... outside on the back patio. It might have gotten above freezing yesterday, but with no sunshine I doubt it. And we got about 1/4" of snow last night.
I am beginning to be able to feel my toes again. But my van no longer has the nickname "Puddles!"
If I ever have a spare $15,000 lying around, I will have my heated garage!
