My father wanted to buy this truck 30 years ago, but the owner wouldn't still it. Finally, the guy decided he was never going to fix it, and my dad snatched it up, delivered it to my house, and left for the winter.
Original 292 was frozen and I couldn't get it free.
Got a donor engine, rebuilt all the brakes, installed a new gas tank, and a new set of tires, and got her running again this yesterday morning.

Nice! I've got a "63 F100, too. Mines a straight 6, three on the tree. The odo shows 85k, and judging by the pedals and the seat, that might be originsl.
