Title: FE in 1969 F100
Post by: 64gal482 on December 23, 2017, 01:15:12 PM
Testing picture post and my first post on the forum, which I have been stalking and absorbing info for years!

Here's my just finished the 1969 F100 project. New wiring harness, new gaskets, new pulleys, water pump, alum radiator and a/c for the 428 FE,  new clutch, pressure plate and new seals for the 4 speed top-loader and 9 inch rear w/3:50 gears. New torque thrust wheels and tires. I am very happy with how it turned out!

My new/current in progress (2 year) project is a 1964 Galaxie 500. Barry R is building a BBM Aluminum 482 with his heads and tunnel wedge 2x4 for that which will have a c6 with a gear vendors and 3:89 Detroit locker. Car has been frame off and is just now finally getting paint after rust repairs and body work. Still a long way to go on this one! Wi  post some pics of that as it makes some progress if there is any interest.

Nice truck and FE. When using Post Image on Jay's forum here you can use the option that says "Hotlink for Forums" if you want the picture to show up full size on your post. The Galaxie project sounds fun.

Wow, I think you've done a beautiful job on the truck! Not only does the truck look super nice, but the engine and compartment look outstanding also! Very nicely done!

I have more than a passing interest because I'm about to start a restoration on my '70 F-350, which I'll be converting the front end and grille to a '69 level. Just not a fan of the '70-72 grilles on bumpsides.

Thanks for the posts and pictures.

Now that's a cherry F100. Well done!

What kind of radiator is that? It looks like a quality piece.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. FYI, the radiator is a Champion.
