Thanks! I'll look into it.KnockKnock wrote:That engine bay is just beautiful! That truck is a gem, and I love that slick black paint.
A blue oval wing nut might top off that air cleaner nicely & tie in with the valve covers, and I'd call it "done".

Some people think it's cheezy, but I like 'em
No matter, that's a great ride you get there!

2.25 with an H-pipe. Was concerned about fitment on the passenger side so I went with 2.25. Still sounds great though.

Also ordered my upper body trim, so I'll post a pic once I get that installed.

You have done an excellent job. The truck looks awesome. I have just bought a 71 F250 with a 460 BB so cant wait to get it on the road. Your pictures give lots of inspiration. Thanks Scott
