Got a new toy.
Well i got myself a new toy to play with. i Always wanted another truck so i got one. It's a 76 Frod F-150 4x4 regular cab, long bed. It has a 390 big block and a 4 speed tranny and it also has granny low. It is a stock higboy version so it has a factory 3' lift. The guy i am getting it from bought it new back in 76. I will try to get some pics of it and my camaro up soon. But with the snow/ice storm we just had i have not been able to do crap. I plan on putting 33's on it and a bigger lift. Don't want to put to much money in it, still want to have the camaro in the picture.

Re: Got a new toy.
lo, i know. I hate the new fords, they are crap. Some of there older carb motors are ok tho. I used to have a 79 f100 with a 302 but the c4 tranny went out. So i sold it and i liked that type of body style so i got me another one. This time we will see what a 390 can do. It is basicly a mud truck and play thing. All i am going to do is probly tear the crap out of it.

Re: Got a new toy.
I will get them as soon as i can go in the camaro with out wiping out on ice,lol. I still have to pick it up from the guy. He had a work bed on it, and i just called him and he said he is taking it off tomorrow and putting the stock bed back on. I will try to get pics of both the camaro and the truck up this week.

Re: Got a new toy.
well it has balls lets me tell you that. And i found out that it can spin all 4 on the pavement.since it is a truck and is kinda heavy it is fast for a truck. I am going to put a 650 cfm carb on it and some headders with flowmasters then it will get er done. It has ALOT of torque. good for muddin
