Taking it one modd at a time....
Since I got my truck back on the road, remanned rear end and all, it kinda gave me some perspective. As long as I continue to use it as my daily driver, I doubt I get to crazy with modding it much more. So..... I'm thinking of turning my attention to another truck that I have always thought about building. My grandpa has a 87 single cab F350 dually with a flatbed farm truck that I would love to restore/build. It ran a year or two ago when it was parked, by me, but since he has an 05 F350 the old truck has been retired. It has the original 460 in it with a rebuilt 5 speed from jasper. The truck and original 460 has over 300k plus miles. It has really been worked hard pulling cattle trailers, and hauling no telling how many rolls of hay. I have a lot of sentimental value with the truck. I learned to drive a stick in it, and have a lot of good memories with my grandpa in it.
Anyhow to cut a long story short, the body is ok, has some dents and stuff, but there is aftermarket out there for the body of the truck, LMC etc. The engine would obviously need to be rebuilt, and I would probably have the tranny gone through, maybe beefed up. The electrical needs a complete redo, no gages work, and the lights cut in and out. New interior and I would basically go through everything from the frame up.
My questions are does anyone have any experience with the 460? I know you can get some pretty big power from the BBF. That a lot of CI to work with..... I think that would be the start of the whole build.
