Default Odd Ball from Deep South Texas

Not sure if I'm welcome here or not but... I have a '67 Ford 10-passenger Station Wagon. I know it's not an F-150, but my aim for it's resurrection is more truck-like than muscle car. After all, aren't station wagons the original SUV's? Currently it has a 390FE with an FMX with 3.00 rear gear, running the stock diameter wheels. I bought it out of NM a few years back off of CL for $400. Turned out it was flood damaged in its previous life. The water pump was off the engine and it was missing several of the accessories when it was flooded. Not sure if it is re-buildable or not. My aim is to have a reliable daily driver able to haul the family around in and be bale to tow a small trailer with camping gear etc. on our bi-annual cross country trips. I want to build it for low end torque and the best MPG possible (from an FE probably won't be much.) NV4500 and GM TBI should help some.

Welcome to the site TABrinn. Well at least you own a Ford, that's a good start, and I'm sure that after reading everyone's else's comments, come this June, you'll be wanting a F150 too!

Welcome to the forum, even thou you don't own an F150 now there is still some great information here and maybe in the future there could be an F150 too.
