Damn is the truck on its side?

No just the cab. We did that so we can repair/replace the bottom cab floor supports.

I think you're in for a lot of time restoring this one. If that engine even runs, it's gonna smoke like crazy after being upside down.

We tipped upside down to keep water out it since had no intake. It still antifreeze and oil it before we hauled it home.

It's gonna smoke like crazy when you fire it up. All that oil has to go somewhere, and guess where it went.

ON the ground after it was flipped over, I'll bet most of it went right past the cam and past where the intake used to be.

Were gonna clean it up before firing it up.

Well haven't been doing much on this project. Since dad passed away on Sept. 19th and that female teenager hit my chevy truck. Hope I can get back on it soon if not it will be spring.

Meanwhile when I was shopping for parts for it at the junkyards found this in a 68 F250 and grabbed til I find one for a 67 F100.

Went to junkyard yesterday got Ford factory westcoast in almost perfect shape and set of 390 exhaust manifolds. Going to go pickup a 390 that needs a gasket set thats already tore down for 200 bucks. Same guy has a set of headers for 30 bucks so might come back with those also.
