Re: Australian '69 F350 - work in progress
I was going to post in here after posting in the 'favourite pic of your truck thread' but it was after 2am here and I was falling asleep
I only just got the truck ready to carry cars about 3 weeks ago. still plenty to do (finish toolbox frames, fill in the sides, proper tie-down points etc) but at least i can use it now. Just picked a 302c for it on the weekend, so i can finally replace the 240.. After that's in i think it may be time for some glossy paint.
the car's on backwards in these pics, as that's how i pulled it out from the shed. And yeah I winched it a bit too close to the cab

Re: Australian '69 F350 - work in progress
the stuff i use to clean the seat was a bit slippery, i went around a bend a bit fast, when the body-roll finally went away i found myself on the wrong side of the cab still clutching the steering wheel.. it's stayed there ever since91Bear wrote:Somebody moved your steering wheel over to the other side of the cab!

Awesome project! I love that era of Falcon too. What part of Oz are you in and where is the track you go to? I have a few friends in the hotrod biz in Melbourne...

Phil,
Awesome truck man! I too really like what a DRW can do.

Love my SBF's! Also really like your Falcon, we've still got the 71' "Chero" in the family.

How's the "little 302" coming along? (That's what most folks here call our 302's)!Just picked a 302c for it on the weekend, so i can finally replace the 240..
