Pony's 1977 Ford F150 4x4

Figured since red had a thread, i'd start one aswell.
My cousin bought it in this condition


Paid me to do this

I did everything but remove the rear window and spray it by this point.

I told him I wanted the truck bad, he named a price and I bought it shortly after that pic^

he bought it with no engine, but picked up this 351m for it

Which i tore down, new gaskets, and repainted.

Pressure washed

Torn Down and cleaned more

Primer

Old ford blue paint

Assembled

Sittin pretty.


I also bought a new windshield.


The truck after the engine was in.

800 bucks later...




Oh, and did i mention it's got a v8 with a footprint gas pedal?



Sorta my hopeful end result minus chrome around windows and around the bottom.

my dodge > your ford

^^^^ lol, wow i love 70s ford, looks good

Damn thats hot. i want to dress up my 360 like how you painted yours, water pump and intake gray. after all, my c6 is already painted to match....   

Leave it natural colored. looks better.

SHOTS FIRED! and the only plastic on the outside of the truck is the rear bumper, cause some dimwhit put on a roll-pan instead of a step bumper. and then theres the interior

I used VHT aluminum paint. I think it looks good. lays down pretty nice for a spray can.

One ting, well two, about regular paint is heat and corrosives like gas and other fluids. It wont last that long, or at least as it does now. Powdercoat is the way to go, or Automotive paint since its formulated against fluids.

this stuff holds up to gas, most hi temp paints are formulated to be resistant to gas and such. however they are not brake fluid proof

Floor Pans in

Cut this out....



Made a patch, looks really good.. I just forgot to take a pic... lol

I know the pans look rough without grinding the welds, but I didnt feel like it considering its covered up..
