Ok i have a 1967 Ford F-100 with 4.9 in it With four on the floor, my plans are to drop her 6 in and since i love comic books im going with a theme beast from x-men blue and black exterior and not sure on iterior colors and audio yet . Its pretty much my dream truck my Uncle got a 78 when i was younger and i fell in love I started on working out the mechanical bugs yesterday I thought the fuel pump was bad but it wasn't the people who had it before i used bolts that were about 6 threads to long and broke one off in it and the trans was shot as well I already bought another motor and trans for it ( always good to have a back up motor only has 5000 miles on it) so i switched out trans also went ahead and changed the fly wheel, starter, and clutch while i was under it so thats took car of, i took the fuel pump bolts out the other motor and put them on the one in my truck it was a pain in the butt getting the old ones out but its all good nothing was damaged tommorrow spark plugs and wires hopefully that will kill the massive skip and set the points. I will post pics of her later when i get some i drew up a ruogh sketch of my idea for it i will post it also

You can get THRUSH glass-packs @ Advance for $15-$20 depending on length. I got one on my '91 F150...You planning on keeping the inline6 in doing a swap?

Besides the 1967 wiring in that engine bay, looks like a really solid project. I assume the drop your looking for is similar to the one in your sig, and I really like it.

Grizzly

Yeah the one in my sig is exactly the stance im looking for i just have to learn to drive it differntly its a long bed so high centering is a concern What do u think of the concept i drew up for the color scheme for it?

I'm planning on getting a 70s-80s model c10 orsomething with my taxes to keep the hatch in the garage and want to do about the same thing to it.

I say with the color scheme. Blue and silver would look good. I think leaving out the silver on the hood and making the silver start from right before the front wheel and come up smooth to a straight line two tone would look sweet.

I was thinkin Matte grey actually but silver is a good idea.
