Re: crazy PO's
The only real mod my truck's PO(who is my uncle) did was remove the stock 350,th350 combo and install a 6.2 diesel,700r4 combo...

Re: crazy PO's
I had a door bell button rigged up to to operate the horn. And as with most folks, wiring with no rhyme or reason to it.

Re: crazy PO's
My PO had problems with his feet, so he hacked up the throttle linkage for a shorter throw. The entire linkage was held together with bailing wire. I had to fab a new linkage. Other than the linkage, he didn't really hack anything up too bad.

Re: crazy PO's
70 with a 402, when i went to rebuild it i found chunks of timingchain, pushrods and lifter pieces in the oil pan.This was a runing motor. All he did was replace broken parts and left the pieces in the pan.
