Re: 68 Long Stepper Build - Chyna

Come to find out the transmission pan's bolt were not tighten properly. They were lose and are now torqued properly. In doing so it seems the truck has more power and will even spin the tires a bit now....Hopefully this will resolve the leaking as well

Nice guy, he was about it being original. So he was a good guy to deal with.

Re: 68 Long Stepper Build - Chyna

Yup, its now official. Got two fords

66 F100 I6, 4:10 rear, power Steering, and disc brakes. Lots of new parts etc etc

Gotta do some cab metal as usual though

Floors and front cab supports but its pretty sound and the previous owner apparently had fallen on hard times. After buying it she said they had put 7k in her....I felt kinda bad she took such a loss

Re: 68 Long Stepper Build - Chyna

I love my '70 C10, but I learned how to drive and work on cars with a'66 Ford just like this one, except it was tan. Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing it.
