Started, now on the path to re construction
Ok, so for anyone who wants to read this I, before I came into the military, had a 1990 f-150 that had a 300 straight 6. Long story short about that motor I threw a rod thru the side of the block and the oil pan. I bought a 302 from my brother in law and put it in the back of the truck to be there when I returned from basic. While I was in basic my mother sold the truck with my motor in the back. Well, 7 years go by and the truck sat in a field and basically rotted away. The people asked my mother if she wanted it back. When she got it back the back window had been busted out, the motor in the back of the truck hadn't been touched except by the elements, the right side was dented to hell and back, and I was STOKED!
I was in FL and my mother in Louisiana near Shreveport so when she told me that she had gotten it back I immediatly high tailed it home and trailered it back. I knew it was going to be a huge project but I figured it would be worth it in the long run.
As soon as we got back to FL we started the teardown and list of parts needed. In no time at all this complete truck was nothing but a rolling chassis with a cab sitting on it. We took out the engine, transmission, driveshaft, hood, bumpers, panels, and bed. We scrapped the bed, bumpers, engine (since the block was worthless) and the right side panel. The rest we kept.
We then took it on base, took the cab off, tore down the frame, and there it sat until I had more money.
I next recieved orders to NM, the ******hole of the united states. We put all of the pieces into a U-Haul (which was funny, a truck inside a truck that was towing another truck). Once I got here I found a house with a garage so I put it in there.
Recently I took the frame to Texas to get powdercoated along with misc other bits and pieces. (In case you have read this far I am doing this as a memory log kind of thing so if your bored feel free to move on)
I have my engine internals being balanced here in NM, my GT-40 (not GT-40P) heads are in FL still until I can get them shipped here (they were getting refurbished by my machinest there), my frame is in Texas, and the rest is here with me.
Question time:
Does anyone know where I can render my truck online to see what it is going to look like, I drew it up but want to see what it would really look like...
Is there a special kit I should get to rebuild my carb? It's a holley 4 bbl 750 cfm.
Should I use a spacer under the carb?
I have a ****** ton of pictures of my truck and how far it has come along.... which I guess isn't too far but still... if anyone wants to see it.
I know I'm new on here but hey, I'm a fast learner and I'm good with my hands.
Thanks for your time and for reading
