it was a 10 wheeler dump truck, probably with a 500+ci. gas engine. shame it's missing the hood scoop.

Oh no, not fords, dats dem chebys that don't start when dare hot.

now that I have your attention, does anybody have any experience with hooker super comp. headers. some listings say they won.t fit power steering,  anybody know why?  pump, lines, cylinder?
thanks, shady

I guess I should mention I have a 62 gal & they are the 6205-1hkr

Thanks guys for taking me into the forum. I'm not big on forums, but stumbled upon this by accident. A little about me. I'm almost 60yo. & started out driving with my moms 60' 352 Gal. wagon. A cool car to have now but not back then. While working part time in 73, after school my boss said he had a junker he'd sell me for $100. so I went to see it & low & behold it was a 64 gal xl. 390 4 speed.  ran good but rusty. In 75 I came across another almost rust free 64 from va. bought it for $100 bucks & stuck it away. It was a 390 auto. car that had a 352 stuffed in it just to move it around. Some how through all the years I managed to hang onto it, but that's about all. It never saw the road since 74. Marriage, kids, houses, & time take a toll on your best laid plans. As soon as I tore the 64 down for a resto I decided to become self employed. That was 21 years ago, enabling me to work 60 hour weeks. I always wanted to build it up so I always was collecting parts. A few months ago I bought a complete ready to drop in rebuilt #'s matching 390 at an estate sale so I guess the 64 will stay stock. Which brings me to the 62. I have a used car friend that bought it at auction. He had an appraisal stating it was a 390 car & all that. When I pointed out that it was an X car 352  he offered it to me for 1/2 money. So it went into the barn with 64. A couple of years ago I decided it was gonna go down the road no matter how it looked & it looked bad (still does). After  new tires, brake, fuel & exhaust systems it once again lived. Future plans call for a 390 that I have all the parts for, & change it to a big spline top loader. I almost hate to take it apart because I love driving it. My original 64 I had in high school went to ford heaven by way of the crusher 25 years ago, but I still have that 390 & T10 plus the doors. Some where in a move the seats & console got lost but I do have the 4 speed console top plate & boot. Somehow the 62 looks just about how it would have if I had it back in 1974. Strange....... shady!

 Sorry, somehow I posted this in the wrong spot. maybe the moderator could place it where it belongs.  What can I say, I've even bought a few chevys, proving I'm subject to stupidity ever now & then.

did anybody see the episode of Street Outlaws with the blown 64 gal in the background? floats my boat.

thanks guys, I'll probably give it a shot just because I have it. I am building a 390 to replace the352 at some point. The alum. is 15lbs. lighter, but the blowproof bell is 10lbs. heavier, so not much weight savings.the 62 has a crites glass front clip & bumpers & offy alum intake, so I'm always looking to save weight. I've had a few 352 cars & this one runs nice. 4 speed & 389s should make it bearable. Next question, anybody have experience with sanderson shorty headers? car does have ps. thanks

ps. i'll try to get a bio together soon.
ps.ps. I googled Harvey alum. It seems they were the foundery for schiffer and those flywheels were prone for the steel friction surface to separate from the alum. body. seems the surface was spray welded onto it.
back to the steel I guess.
