Hey Mac,

Sorry to hear about you little adventure in F**D land!!
Evidently, they just don't live on the same planet as the rest of us!
( maybe they smelled "quality GM trucks" on ya!) Ha,Ha!
Their loss though,....I've seen that truck, and it would make
any F**D guy want to buy it. Make a great ride with very little
effort! (As far as F**Ds go!) Not to bash F**Ds, but the only good truck motors they made were the 390, 429 group. And for trannys .....maybe the FMX.....if ya can find one. The bodies are just as good as anything GM has built, but the driveline just isn't there. Heck, who knows, if it was, I might take a second look at the 67-72 Blue Oval trucks! They have some nice lines. If I can't
find a nice '69 Chevy before too much longer, I might...umm,.......no, can't go there!
Anyway, good luck on getting it posted somewhere.
I'd try a 4x4 board.......multi-make.
Then, don't forget to come back home!!!! Ha,Ha!
