Aaaaaaannnddd i bought another Ford. I dont know how this happened. Ok maybe i do, same friend that sold me the Mustang also used to own this truck. He sold it to a friend which is who i bought it from. Got a FANTASTIC deal on it, like crack head on the corner deal.
Its a 1966 Ford F100. Has the 300" Straight 6 (which I'm told is one of the best motors Ford ever built) and 3 not the tree manual.
It had sat in a field for god knows how long before my friend had pulled it out, swapped out the bad head, put a new starter, a new alternator, and she turned over. The new head on there is from a junkyard and based on what he said he thinks the head is warped and thats why its leaking out back under the manifold onto the bell housing.
Currently there are other small issues that need to be sorted to get it running reliably. It has a battery drain issue. If the battery is left hooked up it will drain a new battery in a day. It needs a carb. Where the fuel line goes into the carb is stripped out and its in there very loosely. Currently have it Jerry rigged to get it to work but its a very short fix and will be ordering a Carb asap. It also has a pinhole in the radiator that only leaks when it gets hot so ill be ordering one at the same time as the carb.
Other than the typical cab corner rust and a bit in the floor she's fairly solid. Could use a front core support as the bottom is rusted pretty bad. But that can wait. It also has the mother of al rear bumpers.

Its currently got 31x10.5x15 tires on it. This makes me mucho excicted because there is still an easy 3-4'' of width left for tire room in the rear. I like big meats.
