Subbed, id love a old truck but export and import fees are whole different ball game
So on this 300,six think you should get radical with it.
Buddy just sold his ‘96 F-350 CC PSD for $15,500!
I think you might be surprised. The value of these older trucks just keeps going up. I know your not doing it for those reasons anyways though.Can you imagine driving it home and some idiot totals it. Insurance gives you $2200 for it! Hell, when im all done with this one its still worthless as far as insurance dollar value.
300s take alot of work to get crazy with them. They dont breathe very well. Very small intake ports, very small intake runners. 1 and 6 run lean on carbed intakes. Just going to do alittle more static compression and run a small cam. Shooting for 200hp.
That's why you need some forced induction
Did you fund a guy to blast the frame yet?
That's a pretty good deal right there, and well worth it imo.Yep. 500 to blast, prime, and paint. Includes the front I-beams.
Personally I would not let them paint it I would bring it back home get a cheap HF gravety gun and I mean Cheap. Buy a couple quarts of POR 15 and spray the frame your self and get some, as much as you can inside the frame.
That would be much better i agree but i have no where to do it and i cant wait till summer to get this back on the road. The original frame was not painted at all and lasted 31 years. I wont have the truck subjected to the same elements as it was in Ohio. Paint will probably be just fine for the next 31.
Why not see if you can get it sprayed with the bedliner material.
They dont offer it. I still dont think its necessary. Paint will be fine.
Since you got it stripped down is there any reinforcing that can be done?
Can't beat rock Auto prices.
Must have tougher delivery guys down there. Nothing has shipped in or out around here since Saturday. And wont move until Friday.
