:devil:That first picture certainly sets a mood.:devil:

(The shop is perfect for working on rigs of our vintage.);)

Re: my 64
 

Cant waite to see this truck all one color. I thought about painting my 63 Stepside that color, Its kind of growing on me. I did all the highlites on that truck in gloss black and I was thinking either Your Color or a bright blue metalic. Either way sorry to hear about all the rain. Here in Oregon that is just a natural occurance for about 6 months. Everytime I think about finishing my Sons 64 ShortWide and how its going to be rained on it makes me slow down the Resto Process. Looking Foreward to seeing more pictures.

Re: my 64

Re: my 64

he had a 66 chevelle with a 283 3 speed and baby moon wheels
i saw a pic it was a very nice car

Re: my 64
 

Yeah the 70's were great. Bought our first house for $28,500. Our house payment was $230.00 a month. I bought a new 70 Challenger, then bought a new 73 Gran Torino. We had 2 kids buy 1975. We couldn't save any money, but I built Baja Bugs on the side for extra money to build my own cars. It was tough, but we did OK, and had fun too. If you know what I mean. :smoke: But you know I think this is the best of times right now. Take advantage of it. :metal:

Re: my 64
 

On what occasion did you take those pictures?
Found On Road Dead
Fixed Or Repaired Daily

Kidding! Nice looking truck. Some of those F150s are indestructable.

Re: my 64
 

it was too good to be true it either has a rod knock wrist pin slap or something in the valvetrain
i dont know the difference (not much experience) but to me it sounds like a lifter(5.4l dont have lifters SOHC)
it sounds just like a lifter would be on a pushrod engine
maybe bent valve?
i dont know!!!

Re: my 64
 

I don't care what you do to it. It's still a F*RD. :sexy::hc: It does look really clean though.

Re: my 64
 

Dude.......... quit it.

Re: my 64
 

quit what

Re: my 64
 

Well atleast it's a truck. So you gonna get rid of it now with the messed up motor?

Re: my 64
 

no im going to keep it
im going to fix whatever is wrong with it
i need to know what is wrong with it before i can fix it
if i post a vid do you think someone can help me figure this out

Re: my 64
 

If it's anything serious I would put a junk yard motor in it. There's a lot of junk Furds out there. The wrecking yard will usually guarantee that the motor is good.

Re: my 64
 

this one is a 40000 mile motor that came out of a rolled expedition
i accidentaly hooke up the intake heater line to the vaccum line and got water in it
it sound like a small tick

Re: my 64
 

If it was rolled, it could have snapped a rod. if it was still running when it rolled, I cant remember what it's called. I think it's hydro lock, or something like that, where it doesn't pick up any oil.
