429 in place of an FE engine would have presented challenges also. They are not direct swaps.
429 is a "385 series" 360 - 428 is FE if my memory is to be trusted.
Your memory serves you well.
Because of all the people that buy trucks and use them like a car, wanted them to ride like a car. On an average, trucks used to be cheaper than cars, because they were used for work. Once trucks became the rage with concrete cowboys, the prices went up along with the popularity.
I'm running a 1978 Bronco box, it's been a bit of a learning curve but if I'd had all the parts on hand I coulda had the whole p/s and p/b swap done in 5 days. Once I'm done I'll do a full-on build thread detailing the swap on Fordification. I recall seeing the burgundy truck years ago, my brother almost bought it. I might've even seen the yellow one too. That 70 is pretty damn cool, I'd like mine to be ~2" higher but I'm really liking the looks of it.
A friend of mine had a 66 Chevy pickup he restored to the point of pinstriping on the frame rails. It was all done except the interior. He took it for a beer run....sitting on a bucket. He goosed it a little, turned over the bucket, pulled the steering wheel off of the quick attach that wasn't latched....
Arch fights wrap…jeeps are spring under so they don’t wrap. Anti wrap bars have to be added when going spring over for lift/flex.
