Looks like a nice truck. Hope you have plans to put a rebuilt in it.
Back in the mid-80's (back when rockyridgefarm was still in diapers :wink: ), I had a 1976 F150, 2wd, reg cab, 390 cu in engine that belonged to my late grandfather. At the time I was stationed in San Antonio and....imagine that, I was in Fire Protection Services (a fancy title for saying all I did each day was sit around, sleep, or mop floors! *lol*). I was off-duty and was driving around the base and passing right by the fire house. All of a sudden my truck started smoking. I pulled into one of the driveways - the one leading to our Extinguisher Maintenance guy, where he maintained and repaired all the extinguishers for the base. He came running out with an extinguisher, but I had a real nice one right behind my seat. Got the fire put out and, come to find out, this piece of copper(?) tubing on the engine had somehow vibrated down and touched the + battery post and burnt a little bit of wire insulation. We pulled the tube off the post and things didn't look to bad. So in a few minutes I got in and drove away. Even got the perk of not having to pay for my extinguisher to be refilled. It was a larger portable, refillable unit. ...Ended up using that truck for a couple more years, until I decided to buy one of them little trucks branded Dodge, but built by Mitsubishi. Got much better gas mileage than that 390 engine and geared-low transmission. Sure wish I had that old Ford now!!
