An Empty Feeling!

For the first time since April 23, 2007 the truck is not occupying space in the garage. It has been sent via AAA flatbed truck to the Maaco shop in Albany, NY. There are a few issues with the paint that need to be corrected.....issues that were discovered after being up close and personal with for the past 9 months!


The motor is on the stand and waiting to be installed as soon as the truck returns. The only remaining original parts of the motor are the 1966 Ford Falcon 200 C.I.D. block, connecting rods and crank. The head is a replacement from a 1967.


The block was boiled, decked and bored. The crank was ground and polished. The head was given a three angle valve job with all new components except for the rocker shaft and rockers.
