Get rid of the luke bryan rims, replace with some alcoas or chrome wagon wheels, wrapped in BFG A/Ts, put the proper colored lenses in it (that drives me insane) it would be bad ass.

I love the black with the black and red interior.

But it doesn't have an engine

No, it has one, they just aren't sure which one.

They could always try lookin' at it?

I agree with the rims and some of the lights... I like the black side markers... the front and rear just don’t look right.

I think it would look bad ass if it had the black headlight covers...not the black markers/turns lol

Most the techs/salesman running around lots nowadays probably couldnt tell a 300 from a 460.

None of them could tell a 360 from a 390.

You could get pretty much any engine in any f-series back then. You could get a 460 in an f-150 back then. The only thing you couldn’t get was a 460 in a 4x4 until the 80’s.

Shit i cant even do that.

Although....i can tell a 351M from a 400.

Being a shortbox 4wd im going to assume factory it had a 302. Who knows now. But i would lay bets its a 460 if its swapped.

360 - 390...
Bring #1 to TDC. Drop a dowel into cyl 1 and mark it. Now drop it into cyl 4 and mark it. The difference is the length of the stroke.
360 - 3.5”
390 - 3.75”

Dont bring math into this.
