any progress on the truck yet,

[80stepsideguy]

What i`m gonna do is do a youtube video shoot of my shop friday.So you can see the truck instead of the pictures.As of late its been quite cold out and i haven't made much progress other then buying some more NOS parts.I bought another NOS front marker lamp housing and a NOS center bowtie grille emblem.I Also bought a steel rollpan and now i may soon get back to the truck and the wagon is getting closer to being completed.If it wasn't for the darn cold weather outside during the morning/afternoon hours i be in there like mad.Plus i`m also working on my 70 cougar.I`m installing a factory clock where there wasn't 1 from the factory in my car.That turned out to be a PITA. But you`ll get to see it all friday or saturday as i do a walk thru in my shop and do my 1st you tube video.

thanks

Having trouble to uploading this video i got but i`ll keep trying.Well i just made another score  a 454 longblock for 400.00.I just got a email back from a guy a few towns over and here is what he wrote:

   i have only a long block left. it is block,crank,rods and pistons,and heads.i probably have a stock distributor,and a pretty set of chrome pulleys, i think its a 76 block,i will double check tomorrow.as for condition,i can't say other than that it is rebuildable.it can be yours for $400.i might have a set of "get you by" headers that i will throw in.
 

So i`m gonna go for it and put the 402 aside.
thanks

Awesome! Good score!

[80stepsideguy]

Thanks vile,
i think it`ll  be a better build then the 402.Now the question is should i keep the 402 or sell it? I could save it as well as my 396 for a future build.

thanks

nice score.

Thanks chris,
i think it was well worth it and for 400.00 i am satisfied.I can now see and feel better when it comes to building it and not have to worry bout spending a arm and a leg for 396/402 parts.Should be sweet to get his motor and take pics of it once its here.
thanks
