Ol_Red_76's 1976 Ford F-Series Pick-Up

76 f-150. I bought it fo $600 to use as a daily driver/project.It sat since 1995 untill i finaly talked the owner into selin it in.08. It runs and drives fine it just has some rust issues. It has the 300 in it for now I have a 390 and a 4speed that came out of another 76 im dropping in her when i graduate.  So far i have put new shocks all around and replaced the exhaust,put 2 beds on it tried a flatbed didnt like it then found a regular bed off a 79 it has some rust but it is decent. I had to put the "legendary" cherry bomb on it because thats my favorite truck muffler for the price.It has all  accel ignition in it.. from the doors up it is in excellent shape. top speed is  about 110 but the motor is crankin really hard to get there the horsepower is around 111 and the torque is close to 175 for now. Got any tips or ideas feel free to share them.

I got bored one day and painted the grill inserts to match the truck, I also rewired the fog lights and put a new bulb in the one.

As you can see it has no tailgate and theres no way to put a regular one on it now thanks to rust.

5 stars. My purple 1995 F-150 4x4 (not posted), bought in 1997 with 29,000. My truck did not pass inspection (mostly rust, and other minor issues -over $1500 in repairs), Sept 2008, but heck it has over 321,000 miles. Yeah its got a 300 straight 6!

Thats the same situation I was in before I restored mine...I believe my engine had about the same or a little less miles on it before I took it out and put my 302 in it...but those damn things will run forever seems like..
