The guy we got the truck from gave us a old power steering box and pump. Just need to figure out if I can make it work on the truck.

Are you running one on yours Steve? This one still has points, but runs pretty good. It's the manual steering that sucks lol.

This particular truck still is running points and condenser.
In '78 the electronic ignition had multiple wires going to a big module box. These were prone to failure, usually by rough running(miss) for a while and then complete shutdown. This is usually the warning sign to replace the "brain box". Then the only way to get rid of it was to install an older points type. But today there are all manor of different replacement distributors.

Now I remember that dang box. My dad had a 80 with it.

Lol it sounds like a nice truck just needs some mechanical work.

The F100 and early F150's are some of my favorite Ford's ever.

Saw a 6th Generation Suburban (67-72) on the highway yesterday. Man that thing was sweet.

Those are sweet. I rode one of these to high school. Bought for $200 bucks and pretty much rebuilt it all the way. 289 V-8 w/3-speed on the column.

I put a 302 in a 1970 bronco for a friend
In the early 90s

It was dark brown but looked as good as this one.
He had left water no antifreeze in the 289 one winter.
I wanted that bronco it would go anywhere
The *pretty boy sold it for 900.00
It had 600.00 work of bf Goodrich tires on it.
I've never seen one as nice since.

I sold mine when I found out I was being stationed in Italy in the mid 90's....regret ain't strong enough of a word. Stupid ex wife talked me into it.

I should have just put it in parking and held on to it. Always thought I'd grab another one...I had no idea the value would go up as much as it has.

They are a tough SOB. Like a mountain goat.
