Well i got ahold of tires so now I need a better motor. The 360 in it could be good for awhile but I'd rather find a 390. They can be built just as good as a 460 can be and a 390 is an easier replacement in my truck. Either that or anyone with a 390 crank and rods? let me know.

lol how about don't reply to my thread unless you have something usefull to say like maybe that you found a 390 forsale, since you know thats what this thread is all about smart one. NOT chevy motors incase you can't read.

and if anything I'd put in 460 of REAL cubes so sorry bud. Plus 390's can be build up just as good as 460's

Was there a "bump" running along the bed and the whole truck? Its pretty easy to tell a 67-72 ford truck from a 73-79.

yeah it is a 60's but i thought highboys had to be '73 to '76 or something like that my dad says they were only made a few years, other ford 3/4 tons and 1 tons came stock taller but wernt High-Boys, so is Tonjes' truck an actual highboy with a 60's body on it?

Chapes
11-22-2006, 11:13 AM
C6's are not rare dave, i have one in my pickup and my dad has 2 or 3 2wd spares up at femlings house

He might think its rare to have one behind a 390? Or maybe because its in an older truck like that but still not rare.

Damn that would be nice but I just want something that I can swap right in and run it for now. Can't afford to rebuild another motor.

I did'nt buy a ford and never would and im reviving it,get what im sayin because it aint ford tough without chevy stuff someday you youngins will figure it out matts 1/2 ton super ford gets worse mileage than my 4 dr dually so whats that tell ya:poke:

Chapes

dave honestly shut the hell up, you are the most stubborn dumb ass i have ever met. kurt said you are going to stick all these chevy emblems and whatnot on that truck if my dad knew you were going to do that he would have let it sit and rot. you think that your sbc and bbc are the coolest things in the world and thats it. theres more out there than that. yes i have nothing against chevy stuff or dodge stuff or ford stuff they all have their good parts and bad parts. just because you run something diffrent that a ford boy doesnt mean that your stuff is better i know there is all 100% ford, 100% toyota 100% dodge **** out there that will rip your stupid POS rig apart anyday, you have a good start on something vintage its all good. if you are going to run a ford body then dont put all of your chevy tough or what ever emblems or stickers you got laying around your place. all you will get are insults from die hard vintage ford guys or chevy guys for that matter i personally wouldnt want a bunch of ford emblems all over a vintage chevy if its sitting on a ford frame, thats just stupid :homes: . but really dave you pick on 77ford way too much he runs all ford stuff because thats what he has and thats what he knows just for the same reason my dad still runs an amc motor in his CJ its not because we're all dumb its because we dont want to do what everyone else does or we want a challenge in building something thats not mainstream like you and your sbc everything. cant we all just get along lol

ya know ill have to give ford guys some credit cuz it cost way more to build a ford then chevy. i can build 3 chevys to one ford so it just says the ford guys have more money to waste and us chevy guys are cheap !!!!!!! lol

11-25-2006, 08:52 AM
towman is your dually diesel? Cause thats the obvious reason you get better gas mileage lol

Chapes
11-25-2006, 12:49 PM
no he has a 454 in it and thinks its the cat's ass, dont get me wrong it obv. hauls 100X better than my '86 half ton with a 351 windsor.

Too bad I didnt have my grandpas old truck. Show him a real big block.

TowMan
11-25-2006, 06:34 PM
matt now you shut the hell up Ive listened to so much b.s out of you ford guys about me getting a ford so ill shut u ladies up by saying im putting the dreaded emblem on it and if a wanna you or no one else will stop me from doing it,if your dad didnt think i was gonna improve it with my stuff then oh well and yea he'd let it sit and rot is right and why is that.. lazyness just plain dumb im not a ford guy but thats one sweet truck and it would have never laid in dirt.. and for my stupid p.o.s. rig at least mine runs PUSS
and as for picking on 77 ford i flipped him a lil $hit for some humor which few of you have and he took it the way he wanted and i could care less nothing personal but he did ask a question and why dont you mind your own business
1 last thing i might be stubborn but not a dumb a$$ i actually know what things are from brand to brand un like you and your ford knowledge so learn something while your at school huh... IM OUT
