AWESOME!! Dentsides are my favorite!(My first vehicle was '79 F100)Thank you!
It originally had a 300 inline 6 but it had a bad piston. I thought of rebuilding it but I scored a 302 out of a 95 Mustang that was really healthy and I got the motor, carb, HEI distributor, and intake manifold for 600 bucks.
I have to clean up the engine compartment.
Well, they did a darned good job with the buffing. Nice score on the 302 engine from the Mustang GT. That will make this old horse run more to your likely on the road. Enjoy it!!Thanks Bob!
I did a bunch of hand polishing and that made it look way better. It wasn’t till I got the “detail” guy from my work to give it a good buff to get it looking like that. If I would have gotten a true detail professional to color sand and buff it, it would come out so much better. I say “detail guy” because I work at a new car dealership and they do an alright job, they don’t spend hours on a car like this truck needs vs a new car with good paint to begin with.
I got lucky finding those wheel covers! They’re my favorite for that period on these Ford trucks.
I have other pics that I tried to upload but they’re to big apparently.

And with the V8 swap, it makes all the right noises.
I can't believe how well it shined up with just a buff job, I thought you had it painted!
I was going to comment on how clean and rust free it is...then I noticed you're in CA...very jealous of all the nice stuff you guys have out there.
I love the 300, but that's a smoking deal on the V8.
