Hello everyone,
my name is phatbank. I live in south-eastern wisconsin. I am 27 years old. Ford freak all my life, mustangs mostly. i have always been a truck man though. I'm doing my first truck resto right now. i have a 1969 f-100, style side, short box, 302 and 3 on the tree." the alabama slamma"
I would like some feed back on a couple of points.
1. has any one converted to rack and pinion? eg.fatman fab.
2. t-5 converion or tremec500?
3. 4-link rear?
I reacently picked up a '71 camper special.....with the camper...just a bit of wisdom those vista liner campers have about 200 pounds of aluminum on them. i bought it for the interoir and dash...i will be posting parts later that I will be selling.

marz. looks like your 68 is going to be one bad ride...
The most recent issue of car craft answered my questions about the t-5 it's self...the only thing that remains is has any one here done it? and is there and tips/tricks or warnings?
did any one here go on the hot rod power tour?
i was on the 2005 tour.
