Heck yeah woodslasher! That square body drivetrain going under a 67-72?

Just like the ford highboy trucks, on the older chevy, closed knuckle Dana 44's are obsolete garbage.

Keep yer eyes peeled for an m1031 cucv. 4:56 gears, detroit locker, double overload rear springs, traclok front limited slip, NP205 with pto, hydroboost brakes.

67-72: The fkn vintage muscle car of wood trucks. Interiors are just as nice as the exterior.

No sir. Too many wires and computers. I like simple.

Yep! Could u imagine:
A permanent gear set for cam timing? No tearing down the entire fkn engine for a dual overhead cam timing belt or timing chain.

A $280, 2100 carburetor and fuel pump right on the side of the block? A carburetor so simple, u can do a jet change in 2 minutes without spilling a drop of gas. 12 annular fuel passages in the venturi cluster that atomize fuel just as good as these silly throttle body injection kits full of cheap chinese components?

I like that very much. 2100 and 2150 worked on every size engine, just change jets.

It's actually a Ford chassis, but correct. My brother has a 68 F250 2wd truck that is donating the body for that build.

 

[Woodslasher]

Got a wee bit done after work, I busted the rims off my 60 front, grabbed the self-propelled hi-lift, and put a good set of rollers on the chassis. Now it can be easily shuffled while it sits for however long it takes for me to get the engine, trans, and front axle pulled off my truck and ready to drop onto his chassis. You can see the body donor in the background in the 2nd pic.

Got my fingers crossed yer brother goes with thr glorious 300 ford. Might look a lil small in that big heavy truck, but It'll work!

For example: my 230 lb body makes my dk look small. It still works HARD!

 

[Hoser]

300-6 if low on cash or working it. FE stroker if he’s flush.
I’ve owned a few 73-79 fords, loved them all but would really like a beat up but solid 4x4. 300 with a 4 gear don’t care which. T-18’s, np-435 both have been good to me.

[Woodslasher]

360 FE is the donor engine, my truck that's getting cummins swapped has a running 360/NP435 combo in it so we're using that for simplicity's sake. Plus, there's 1.5 extra 360's floating around so we have parts.

Anyone want some F600s?

 

[Woodslasher]

I'll take the blue 4x4 service truck please 'n' thank you.

Far right in this pic, in case you've forgotten:

 

[Hoser]

[davidwyby]

My brother’s

[Woodslasher]

[Mack 880]

I like those F600's! Are you really putting them out?

Oh boy! Wet timing belts! Brightest idea ever. They are going great for Ford too!
