focusinprogress said:I had leased a 2012 F-150 until last june, when I was getting close to ending the term I scooped up a '72 F-250 camper special for a project truck. Decided cost of a lease with the poor gas mileage and high insurance cost wasn't conducive to my bank account. So I scoured CL for an old F-series and found a runner/driver for $2k delivered and it was originally a texas truck. Stripped the 390 and C6 auto trans and sold off, took profit and got a '98 mustang GT 4.6 V8 with a 5spd manual trans, with the ECU and wiring harness. Grabbed a crown Victoria rack and pinion complete front suspension and limited slip rear end from a junkyard, and transplanted it all into the '72 pickup. I did a lot of other things along the way, but left the patina on the body. here's how she sits.

84 Crew Cab Long Box F-350 460 4 speed.
Thanks, I love it too. Just replaced a power steering hose about twenty minutes ago. The engine actually came out of a 79deviant said:I love this truck. I had a lifted 79 F150 (only one of three Fords I ever owned, the other two being a Galaxie 500 and my wife's Taurus) with 44s and a hell of a disposition. It was also a 460 4 speed. Had to bend the fuck out of the shifter to manage the lift and you had to push it into 1st to keep from slamming your knuckles into the dash. I would love to own that truck.
