[Thunderfoot]

Steve, Thanks for the pics of the belts, look good

[Manny]

man steve that thing looks great dude. Makes me want to go rip the inside out of my 67'. Nah looks really good man. Where did you get your insulation from??? ALso glad you didn't use the roofing tar....

[SteveC]

i ordered it from Lmc truck...simple parts like that ill order but for anything mechanical i go with NPD

[SteveC]

ok wow been a while for a update for i got 67manns f600 instrument panel installed. It was simple instead of using the harness that was on the back of the f600s. I just double check all the color codes on it and then pulled the harness off from my 67's instrument panel, the rest was pretty much plug and play.

I also used the wiper switch that was in the panel and when i get time either tommorrow or the next day im gonna grab some vaccum hose and tee into the manifold vaccum. Hopefully ill be starting my transmission swap prett soon as well, and since i bought my wife a new camera i can accually take mine to get pictures of that.
well enough of my rambling and on with a few pictures.

unfortunatlly i didnt get any pictures of the back of the f600 one but here is the back of the old one and the f600 harness.


And this thing looks great in here



A big thanks to 67mann for selling me this.

I like that dash cluster.

Looks better than what I have in mind.

This one is a Probe dash:



This one is with a Taurus dash:

[SteveC]

You are making some good progress. The floor mat looks original. Will it clean up or are those stains permanent?

[SteveC]

original and yea they will clean just been thinking of putting carpet in the truck

[67mann]

Steve---Looks right at home in your truck--glad ya like it

[SteveC]

small little update. I was looking for a different over flow tank since i never had one to begin with and also a way for a differnt washer resivor since mine was the bag style and was rotted away.

I stole the one from the 83 f100 i was h tearing apart doesnt look to bad
its not fastened down fully yet but it fits well

[SteveC]

sorry for such dinky updates just dont have much to do untill octoberish when i pull the moter for a rebuild , but untill then i changed the front bumper to a chrome one and kinda added eye liner to the headlights

[SteveC]

ok this last week i got the engine out and tore down to a bare block to get ready to rebuild it


transmission removed


engine just about ready to come out


empty hole


on a engine stand


just a slight leak in the rear intake


just a litle dirty parts..




pistions and valves.. look like this on both sides i was expecting worse



geting ready to remove the pistions


down to a bare block ready to be cleaned


30 minutes or so later after a good heat tank soaking



thats about all i have for pictures for right now. The cylinder walls all had a rigde on them and a couple of my cam bearings were badly shot. All the bearings in the mother are stamped with fomoco and a date of c5.

Some things i am planning on doing is going to a 4 barrel intake i have nothing radical or major as far as cam , just wanting a good reliable engine, and im gonna finish the changeover to a 4speed.

thanks

Steve,

Great to see you breathing new life back into it!!
it'll be fun watching for your updates, what carb and intake will you be using?

[SteveC]
