Newbie From California

Post by Clarko »

Greetings Ya'll!
My name's Brian and I bought a nice 1969 F-250 Ranger Camper Special back in May.
I only have one pic since the last SuperMotors crash:
Image
It's just a junk camera phone picture too.
I was looking for a truck like this (67-72 F-250 with a 390) for over a year and, although it didn't have the engine I wanted, I settled for it since it has a 428.
I am the third owner.
It was originally a 360 but when that took a dive the owner before me built the 428 and installed it.
Edelbrock Performer intake, Holley Carb, 10k on motor since rebuild.
It has a fresh C6.
MSD 6 box with a Duraspark dizzy.
3.73 gears. Limited slip diff.
Came with a few boxes of other things like the original hub caps, original 360, original radio, etc.

My plan is to make it a resto-mod truck.

I love the forum so far, too!
Brian

Howdy and welcome from West Texas! That is a nice looking machine you have, and the 428 is one of the best engines ever built IMO

Clarko, Welcome. Thats a great phone pic. Sorry you couldnt find a 390 and had to settle for that 428. Sometimes we just have to settle for close enough. Give a shout if you need anything :D
