1 owner 72' that was owned by a engineer at Nasa . Pretty clean truck for down here . Probably buy the ACE kit and do the bolt in thing . May pull the motor out of the Mustang if i can sell it as a roller . If not i have most of a strong 355 in the corner of the garage that i was saving for a spare for the 49' (which im offically afraid to drive anywhere) . I drove this truck on the trailer and it was $60 cheaper then the blue one . Definatly a difference between my 78' and this 72' They made alot of improvements in 6 years . looks like 355/350/9" 3.50 .

I am so glad that the guy didn't hack it up like he said he wanted to!
Judging by your '78, it's going to be a nice truck some day.

The wife said she saw you draggin a LUV home on Sunday. Have not had a chance to call and check. Let me know if you need something for it. You know I have the "PARTS BOX" in the garage. Give you a call in a couple of days. Once bit by teh LUV BUG, always a scar. :lol:

Thanks guys , it aint blue , but it'll do . Actually started to detail it a little bit . It has been sitting and there was some surface rust here and there . Mixed up a bucket of warm water mixed and 25% CLR and gave it a good washing . This removes the surface rust from the cracks and crevices . I am also about 1/4 done waxing and buffing out the truck . The driverside rear quarter has had some work done on it , but it will come out with a rotory buffer and look pretty good . I'll try and get fresh pics up , but man is it ever hot .

That's a pretty clean truck and the front bumper looks straight. I wish I could get it.

It is a pretty clean truck . I wish i could hang on to it , but i ended up with 2 of them and this one is complete and stock so this one will get passed on so it has a chance to stay stock . The front driverside bumper has been hit by something and massaged back out , but a chrome shop could fix it . I ended up with a 77 Stepside roller . That will probably surprise alot of people when the pictures start showing up .
