Look at the frame. No rust proofing at all. I cant remember where it was built. Its a US truck by the tag. Maybe somebody that knows the VIN stuff can tell or I could get off my lazy ass and google it. Maybe Kentucky?
Have you worked on a holographic web press?
What happened to the Mustang?
So maybe 73-79 would work. I used to know where a nice 78 1/2 extendo cab 150 was. Had some front end damage and motor/trans was robbed, but a straight clean truck, as long as you liked orange.
Extended cab changes wheelbase is only problem there. If it doesnt have a pickup bed on it, you could move the cab mounts and make it work. Would be a stubby bed F-250 ext cab. Would look cool, as long as youre willing to do a little metal finessing to make it work. Thats assuming its a long bed F-250.
From what I can gather, it sounds like maybe the old gas ate the float needle or the float and it filled the crankcase with gas. If it blew the filter off, then yeah, no bueno. Worse if it was thin enough to wash the oil off the bearing surfaces. Was any fire associated with any of this?Is it bad if the oil filter looking plate blows off the side of your B&S 21hp V twin?
She got some gas in her but started right up. It stunk of fuel and muh oil looked like piss when it came blasting out of it. So... three hours with a 22" instead of the 42"sucked in this heat, midday today. Not a good idea to store it with a full tank of gas one would assume, mfer
Just finished dinner and it's time for a shower, sleep, rinse and repeat. Flood rains tomorrow all day possibly
Survived another day
So um, I MIGHT know where there is a bone stock all original never been painted 1973 Bronco. Factory hard top. 302 V8. Factory auto trans. Factory AIR CONDITIONED. metallic burnt copper with white top. White interior. Has had aftermarket rims and tires put on, but not much else last time I saw it. Thats been several years ago. Original owner who was a good friend of mine sold it to the present owner. Original owner has passed. Current owner has changed jobs. I used to talk to him regularly. Need to look him up. That truck would be EXPENSIVE, but it would be something not a lot of people get to experience.
Let me get a hold of Tim Hughley. He's got some pretty cool stuff. He's a Mustang guy. His kids are named Ford and Shelby. He had that extended cab. Pulled the motor and trans to go into a fastback stang he was building.
